What Parents Need to Know
About Baby Beluga
Parents need to know that the lessons taught include how to cross the street, respecting nature, counting, and French (half of "To Everyone in All the World" is in English, and the other half is translated into French). As proof of the singer's draw, 3-year-olds on a trip to the aquarium kept singing "Ba-by Ba-lu (uuu)-ga" during the long bus ride -- practicing their ability to associate melodic patterns with particular words.
