Baby Galileo Review.......2006-03-18

I love all of the Baby Einstein DVD's, so the music CD has been just as good as the DVD's. I play it all the time when my son is in the car and it seems to calm him and keep his attention. I even listen to it in the car when my son is not with me. It is relaxing and soothing. I definitely recommend the CD's for the car.

Excellent CD for Children! My Daughters Love This Story.......2004-01-28

Master storyteller Jim Weiss is an incredible storyteller. The stories are so interesting for children. Many of his story CD's have been highly awarded, and this is one of them. This won a gold award from Parents Choice and was mentioned as one of the 25 best audio CD's in the past 25 years by Parents Choice.

My family first learned of Weiss's CD's when we checked one out from the library. It was excellent. We then learned about this one and acquired it, and my older daughter has been listening to it a couple evenings a week while she reads. The story is excellent, and she listens to it over and over.

The story brings out the imagination of a child and entertains in a good way - unlike some commercial childrens products.

Excellent!

Awesome Audio.......2003-10-05

My son LOVES this tape! He listens to it every night, and can recite all the information about Galileo, Brahe, Archimedes, etc. In fact, I am now going to buy more of Mr. Weiss' tapes, just so we can have a little variety! Mr. Weiss has a way of entrancing young listeners -- so they are learning while they are being entertained. I highly recommend this!!

For the budding scientist . . ........2001-04-22

Jim Weiss is an extraordinary storyteller who brings to life the process of scientific inquiry and discovery. My six year old son was so entranced by these stories of Archimedes, Brahe, Kepler, and Galileo he asked if he could go back out to the car to listen to the tape again. Worth listening to again and again.
