Baby Songs Christmas [VHS]
Kids, puppets, and earnest adults sing this collection of nine Christmas songs, which include two originals, six traditional carols, and a medley of hymns--each accompanied by a charming "music video." "The Twelve Days of Christmas" features young students preparing a Christmas skit of the song, with comical errors prevailing up to the flawless performance that accompanies the final verse. A puppet couple misunderstands the carolers who warble the antiquated selection "The Wassail Song," until a dictionary solves the problem. "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Sleigh Ride" feature outdoor settings worthy of the Currier and Ives reference of the latter. Original songs "Peace on Earth" and "We're Cooking Supper for Santa" nicely complement the collection aimed at infants through 6-year-olds, but with appeal to the sentimental of all ages.--Kimberly Heinrichs
