Amazon.com Baby Animals corrals a crew of kids who could have been lifted off the fashion spread of a Sears circular and looses them at a petting zoo, where they frolic merrily alongside its plastic-like proprietress. This being a Kidsongs' program (circa 1995), there's no goose-taunting or monkey-mocking; instead, the gang sings and dances its way through duck ponds, bear pits, and tiger pens, oozing professional-child-performer phoniness with every kick, grin, and twirl. Sheep steal the spotlight for "Woolly Bully"; "Great Big Beautiful Doll" is spun into a baby elephant serenade; "Jeepers Creepers" surveys the peepers of creatures great, small, adorable, and slimy; and "Yes! We Have No Bananas" slips us a sequence of much-needed monkey business. Their incorruptible cuteness aside, there's only so much these critters can do to tone down the kids' goody-two-shoes antics. Buy it only if your preschooler can swallow corniness so kicked up it could make Barney recoil. --Tammy La Gorce
