Baby MacDonald

## Cover

Baby MacDonald is the 14th video of Baby Einstein. This video teaches your baby all about the farm, such as growing, planting, meeting the animals, and celebrating the harvest accompanied by wonderful classical music by Schubert, Schumann, Strauss II, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn, and some traditional songs as well. A cow puppet by the name of Baby MacDonald takes us all around the farm.
