## Original Cover

The 2006 DVD Cover

**Baby's Favorite Places** is the 21st Baby Einstein video in the series. It features words of things that can be found in an average city, with classical music by Mozart and Joplin.

*Baby's Favorite Places* is a playful introduction to the names of familiar and favorite places around town - from the market to the library to the local park.

Parents and little ones will discover 20 new words using both verbal and nonverbal communication. First, the written word is shown alongside an image of the featured place or object, and the word is said aloud. Then, special guest Marlee Beth Matlin demonstrates how to express the word through sign language. Once the words have been introduced, delightful puppet shows and real-world images set to the beautiful classical music of Mozart, and including classic piano works of Scott Joplin. Encourage parents and little ones to join in the fun!
