| Editor Reviews: Description: Mozart's music, both timeless and lovely, has been shown to affect people of all ages in positive ways. BABY MOZART(R) is a playful, imaginative introduction for infants and toddlers to the music of Mozart. Litle eyes will light up at the images of brightly colored toys and visually captivating objects, while little ears will love the carefully arranged music and amusing sound effects. The best-selling video of its kind, BABY MOZART is a rich source of stimulation that will delight your child time and again.
