 A Magical Buy !! August 31, 2008
It is a truly beautiful introduction to an amazing array of poetry, letting your child know that poetry comes in many styles. The choice of poetry, the way it is read, the music and the images will leave you mesmerized. The comments by all the children are the icing on the cake.
Awesome! July 10, 2008
My child enjoys this DVD a lot. Plus it is good for kid's ears to hear poems.

My son is two-years-old and he is not permitted to watch television. (I am a psychologist and have done research as to the correlation of ADHD and television viewing). However, I discovered The Poetry Show on HBO and recorded it for my son. He absolutely loves it. He is now able to completely recite the Owl and the Pussycat and will recite some limited Shakespeare. The children interviewed in this DVD are so sweet and cerebral. It truly inspires a parent to introduce their children to the arts at a young age. This DVD has quality animations, wonderful celebrity readings of classic poems and is an overall well-done piece. I would recommend this to anyone. I believe it spans children of all ages and captures the attention and interest of adults alike.

As a fan of Classical Baby products, I worried that "Poetry" might be too advanced for my toddler. Nope. She adores it. Additionally, she re-enacts the scene on the dvd cover -- she lays on her stomach and 'reads' thick books while quoting the poetry to herself.
"Poetry" takes a difficult subject and brings it to toddler level, without watering it down. The segments are interspersed with small children who explain the poems and explain how poetry works. The animation exceeds industry standards. As an adult, I've never liked poetry, but now I'm fascinated by it. This dvd is phenomenal for both toddlers and adults. I highly recommend "Classical Baby: Poetry".
Great DVD May 13, 2008

My son, who has watched the other 3 Classical Baby DVDs for the past year and a half, absolutely loves the Poetry Show. He asks us to play it for him all the time and has started to recite parts of it.
