Classical Baby

Last month our satellite company gave us a preview of several HBO channels, one of which was HBO Family.  We recorded several great programs for Ella that KJ and I really enjoy, too.  They're in a series called Classical Baby.  Our favorite is The Poetry Show.  It is such an enjoyable and fun way to expose your children (and yourself) to great poetry.  They could be reciting Shakespeare by kindergarten!  There is also an episode that introduces children to classical music and one with Susan Sarandon reading Goodnight Moon.  All of the episodes have several funny interviews with children talking about poetry and music and nighttime rituals.  One of my favorite quotes from the poetry show?  "Poems can make you sad.  They can make you glad.  They can make you confused."
