Baby Galileo, a young kangaroo puppet, looks toward the sky in an exploration of the awesome wonders above to discover the sun, moon, clouds, stars, and galaxies, and each of the nine planets,. This 30-minute presentation features rapidly shifting images that include real-life photography of the celestial wonders and children playing with space-themed toys, animated segments, and puppetry. A variety of excerpts from classical masterpieces like Mozart's "A Little Night Music" and Debussy's "Clair de Lune," specially arranged in primarily synthesized "music box" arrangements, as well as several popular nursery songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," accompany the imagery and ensure a stimulating, multi-sensory experience. DVD extras include a repeat-play function, discovery cards with 14 real-life photographs of celestial wonders with spoken and written titles, puppetry excerpts from the presentation, toy chest with details about pictured toys, and a DVD-ROM coloring book. (Ages 9 months to 4 years) --Tami Horiuchi

 Doesnt work on all dvd players August 28, 2008
I think the one we got is a bootleg verison bc it wont play on my dvd player that all the other ones DO play on and it looks different too. We havent gotten a chance to see the actual dvd so i cant rate how it is. Sorry
 Fascinating July 6, 2008
I have watched this DVD several times with my four month old niece. She loves it, and so do I! My niece is a little young for it, but she loves the parts with the puppets and the repeated sections between chapters. And she enjoys the music and the scenes of clouds or stars. I have found it to be quite interesting myself. I love the beautiful scenes of the sun rising and setting, the clouds going by, the moon rising, the stars filling the sky, the planets, and especially the gorgeous scenes of different galaxies.
I don't see a problem with having vocabulary that young kids aren't likely to get. It is still good to expose them to new words and ideas, even if they don't understand it yet. I love the mix of real nature scenes and the toys and children playing with them. It is exposing my baby niece to new faces and scenes of the world that she won't otherwise be exposed to. And the classical music is beautiful too!
My 6 month old loves it! March 13, 2008
At six months old, this is the only video my baby sits all the way through independently. She loves it and already receptively can find "stars" around the house when asked. It's right at her level and will probably continue to teach her as she gets older. Other videos often bore her after about 5 minutes or so. I'm impressed!
 A BORE December 1, 2007
Not one of their best dvds. My daughter wouldn't even pay attention to it.
Language not age appropriate November 29, 2007
Not only is this the only BE dvd that can't holdmy daughter's attention but it 'wastes' vocabulary teaching time by teaching the names of all of the planets - which I don't think will be useful for most children.
