Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: Filled with great songs. Our 1 year old loves it! All songs are performed by the monsters themselves.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lots of monster fun!
Review: I've bought quite a few used videos lately, as the selection is better than what the stores are carrying lately for Sesame Street. This video is a riot and my daughter begs for it almost daily. Set-up like an awards show, the songs "Fur" and "Fuzzy and Blue" are fun and entertaining even for adults. I like this video because it includes the character Frazzle, who was dropped because he was deemed "too scary" to kids. My 2 year old LOVES Frazzle and begs for his song over and over. How's that for scary? This video is cute and the songs are fun. From the songs mentioned above to "C is for Cookie" this video contains lots of monster fun!

Summary: A great diversion from the all Elmo everything
Review: It took our 2 year old a little while to get into this video, but now that he has, he asks for it every night "Onster Hits".

As a parent, it's nice to see characters that I grew up including Grover, Herry, Cookie Monster which don't seem to appear much in the current Sesame Street shows.

There are quite a few monster in this video that I hadn't seen, nor have I seen since, although Frazzle is great.

I'd definitely recommend buying this video. You just may have to view it two or three times for you and your kid(s) to get into it.

Summary: Nothing like the Street
Review: My sister played this for my toddler when we were visiting her, and now that we're back home my son daily asks for "monters." This is great vintage and contemporary Sesame Street fare. Songs like "That Furry Blue Mommy of Mine" are musically sophisticated enough to please parents, and there's also good variety in the selections, which is a help to parents who will hear the songs OVER and OVER and OVER again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My son's all-time favorite
Review: My son is close to sixteen months old at the time of this writing, and over a year ago he started loving this video. To this day, except for the Grover's song, "What Do I Do When I'm Alone", playing it on our VCR is an automatic way to get him to calm down, no matter his mood.

This video will give you so much mileage and make your child smile in such a unique way, you will wonder how could anyone want to ever get rid of it. It's by all means the video that has given us in the family more moments of joy since Santiago was born. I wish you the same fortune.

Summary: Sesame Street's Monster Hits! (1990)
Review: Parents,
This is a great Sesame Songs Video. My 8 year old son loves Cookie Monster and I wanted to find a video that did include him. Tap along as Cookie Monster croons his big hit C Is For Cookie, clap along as Grover sings Fuzzy And Blue and What Do I Do When I'm Alone. Get some more monster in you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Your favorite Sesame Street monster is in this video!
Review: Sesame Street's monsters shine in this song-filled, 30-minute video. Highlights are Grover's "What Do I Do When I'm Alone?" and Cookie Monster's "C Is For Cookie", both from 1971. More obscure favorites are 1975's "Fur" and "Frazzle". For those Elmo fans out there, be forewarned: this video came out before Elmo became huge, and therefore, has minimal representation. If you love the monsters and if you love good songs, this video is for you! END

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Warm and Fuzzy (and blue and orange!)
Review: Similar to "The Best of Kermit" this is arranged as an "award show" - but it contains a fabulous collection of clips with your favorite monsters, and some you've never seen before!

Herry and Elmo host the "Fuzzy Awards," and though Elmo can hardly wait to open the envelope, Herry manages to make him behave while they play the nominees - "Fur," just for fun, "Herry's Family Song," comparing Herry and his parents, "Frazzle," - who says "arrrgh!" no matter what he feels, "Two Heads Are Better than One", with the two-headed monster, "Fuzzy and Blue (and Orange!)" with the terrific trio of Grover, Herry, and Cookie (and Frazzle), "Comb Your Face," "Healthy Food," a Cookie Monster rap, "What Do I Do When I"m Alone" with Grover (what happened to Being Afraid?) and, of course "C is for Cookie."

My favorite moment in the show is the achievement award, which Herry gives to "That Furry Blue Mommy of Mine," a song remeniscent of "Dream a Little Dream" that makes me give my boy an extra squeeze.

Enjoy!

PS. One small dissapointment: it doesn't include "Monster in the Mirror," which surprised me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Give it a try!
Review: Sometimes it takes a few viewings to get into a video in our house. I always preview the tapes before my 17 month old watches them, just to make sure they aren't too scary. I watched this one twice, I loved it so much! This tape is now played every day without fail, and we all love it. Don't be put off by the style of the songs. They aren't really modern sounding, but they are so catchy, that you can't help but love them. Remember that these tapes are for your child, but you have to watch them, too. Enjoy!!
