Pajanimals: Good Night, Pajanimals!

Excellent DVD!I purchased this DVD because years ago, after producing my first baby, I walked up and down the aisles of a nice posh bookstore where I found "The Sleepeasy Solution". Yes, in the days of sleep and unlimited choices for your free time. Oh yes, free time was everywhere in those days too.Baby number three is two years old but the one who struggles with sleep yet is the four-year old boy. I did what any sleep-deprived, bordering-alcoholic mamma would do when the lightbulb finally switches on. I pulled out the blessed book and googled the authors and discovered that the Pajanimals is what happened when the Sleapeasy Solutionists co-brained with Jim Henson's people!!I was very pleasantly uh, pleased. The little mop creatures and setting were all very cute and just well put together. The music, the story, etc... I must say that it was very easy to remember the different principles hammered in the book. It all came back to me through the catchy little tunes, the repetition and all the perfectly interjected parent messages in there. It really was well out together. It has helped my diminutive man to become acquainted with what we do at night. The little routine has helped tremendously.I must add that it is a very helpful aid to those parents who have co-parents or other semi-helpful rearing adults in the household who have not been interested in reading up on the subject from the start. This helps the information kind of seep through the environment "unnoticed", like second-hand smoke, except much more helpful, and you don't have to smell like, well, smoke.I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who has children. Whether you are already sleeping easily or you are feeling as haggard as I am, this will help lighten your load. Single moms, unite! I am married, but okay. This is the only one of the series that I have purchased or seen, so I can only speak for this one.Thank you so much!!!

I viewed a handful of these videos on a complimentary channel through my cable provider and my daughter seemed to like them so I ordered it. I thought it would be more of a "show" where the pajanimals are going to sleep but instead its a series of seperate videos (not connected, not a running story line)where the pajanimals are singing about going to sleep. My daughter is 16 months old and loves music and although I don't let her watch tv (and shes never shown much interest at her friends house in tv either) I let her watch the pajanimals while I clean up the kitchen before bathtime and she loves them. She dances, she carries the DVD case around when I won't let her watch them and she's always excited to see them. Im a Jim Henson fan anyway which is why I gave it a try but I love it and its an excellent price. The only annoying thing is that at the beginning of each video a "Jim Henson/Pajanimals" logo pops up- doesn't bother my daugher, just me. Catchy tunes, not annoying. I'm looking forward to other pajanimals items being available for purchase. Theres also sleep advice for parents by the authors of the "sleep easy solution", I haven't viewed that section yet but the Pajanimals are great.Recommended for any child that loves music- a great way to wind down at the end of the day.

My daughter is eight months old and I cannot tell you how much she adores the Pajanimals. She's a huge fan of Sprout in general, but she especially loves the Pajanimals. It doesn't matter how cranky she is, if I turn on "Morningtime" she's all smiles.Trying to catch Pajanimals while they were on TV or even rewinding the few songs available on cable OnDemand was getting annoying, so I went in search of a DVD. Yay, there was one!The first thing I noticed about this DVD was that when you put it in, you're given the option of viewing Previews or Feature (not sure exactly what they called it, but you get the idea). This may seem like a small detail. But anyone with a cranky baby knows that being able to skip straight to the main menu instead of hitting fast forward through multiple previews is worth its weight in gold!Once you get to the main menu you can choose to play all the songs or to choose the song you want. I like this because some nights I turn on the play all and my daughter will just sit there and play with her toys and watch. Other nights I'll hold her and listen to Morningtime multiple times because it's the only one that will calm her down so well.I highly recommend this DVD to anyone with small children, yes even babies! I've been telling all my mommy friends about it.

At first my 1.5 year old was not really liking the Pajanimals. He had never seen the show before (neither had I), but I got this dvd based on reviews, it's apart of the N Circle network of children's entertainment (I have come to trust their entertainment value for children's entertainment as all of their shows are entertaining yet educational), and I was seeking some more videos that would be nice for my child to watch right before bedtime to help him settle down. The Pajanimals grew on him after a watching this dvd and another one of the Pajanimal dvds a few times. Now he is fond of them and enjoys watching the episodes. Otherwise I was afraid I was going to have to donate the Pajanimals video/s to goodwill. There's 4 episodes. The dvd is about 1 hour long. I find myself singing the theme song sometimes. It's cute. LoL I like how the episodes teaches children why sleep is important and how to face all the issues kids encounter with bedtime and real life situations with playmates (ie. practice makes perfect, scared of the dark, nightmares, can't sleep, when to wake up, sharing is caring, etc)
