Summary: sesame street kids favorite songs
Review: this video is surperb my granddaughter is mesmorized by it. The problem was that i thought the Grover song "MENA MENA" WAS ON IT.
My children were one of the first generation to hear that original and I would like it if they could share the funny song with their children.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Extremely poor audio quality
Review: The audio on this DVD is completely unacceptable. The VHS version might be ok, but the DVD is very hard to listen to. It's loud, distorted, and easily the worst sounding DVD I've ever heard. It's worse than AM radio.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Truly Terrible Audio Quality
Review: This DVD has the same audio problem as "The Best of Elmo". I am very disappointed about the audio transfer. It's completely distorted and way too loud. The sound of Elmo actually scares my 1.5-year-old son. Try it from a video store first. Don't waste money on the DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thank you, Sesame Street!
Review: We are using this DVD every day to help us feed my 1 year old daughter. She refuses to eat begining from the very first spoon when she is not watching Kids' Favorite Songs (or Kids' Favorite Songs 2), and even hits the spoon with her hands sometimes. But when she is watching, she is literally hypnotized and finishes the whole dish in just a few minutes. She loves Elmo, and smiles to him every time he appears on the screen. Of course, she doesn't understand a single word, but she loves all the songs. This DVD is great for parents of children with eating problems, as well as parents looking for some relief for half an hour.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fun video with blaring audio
Review: The title says it all. Whomever did the DVD transfer spent too much time playing with the video portion. The audio blares and distorts from the git go and doesn't calm down. Someone forgot how to use a VU meter. I guess it's OK for kids because they can't tell, but it's the worst audio I've ever heard on a DVD disc.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My daughter's favorite Sesame Street DVD
Review: Of all the Sesame Street DVDs that we have, this one is definitely my daughter's favorite. Though she is only 15 months old, she now sings bits and pieces and hums the tune to several of the songs on here. When my husband and I try to watch a DVD, she will run over and grab this one and shove at us to put it in so she can watch it.

Unlike some other Sesame Street DVDs, this one actually has somewhat of a plot. Everyone on Sesame Street thinks that Elmo is going to do a top ten countdown of his favorite songs on the radio, so they all spend the entire time trying to convince him to use their favorite song on the countdown - turns out all Elmo wants is some quiet time so that he can practice his top ten countdown (all he is going to do on the radio is count backwards from 10 to 1.) The songs on here are some favorite kids' songs - I've Been Working on the Railroad, Baa Baa Black Sheep, The Alphabet Song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Row Row Row Your Boat, She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain, John Jacob Jingle-Heimer Schmidt, etc. If you only purchase one Sesame Street DVD, this should be it!

Summary: Disappointing songs collection
Review: I purchased "Sesame Street - Kids' Favorite Songs" (part I and II) on Amazon and both the DVDs are in the return box now for the following reasons:

- The songs are performed mostly by Sesame street characters and adults. Kids come and go in some songs, but the songs are not performed by children. My daughter doesn't like characters alone, so she didn't even watch the first song completely.
- There is a lot of talking. I wanted a video with just songs and only songs.
- Since the songs are performed by characters, they are not as musical as the ones performed by children. In some cases, the lyrics are hard to understand because the characters sing too fast and loud.

My daughter wants to watch other children sing and play and learns a lot from it. That is where this DVD set disappointed me. The quality of the DVD and the production are up to Sesame street standards.

In summary, if your kids like Sesame street characters, they would love this video. For me, these DVDs are going back and will be replaced by "Cedarmont Kids Sing-Along Songs 3 Volume Set" by TimeLife videos.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Looking for More Sesame Street to Add My Collection
Review: This is the first Sesame Street video I bought for my 20 month old. She loves it, and I enjoy watching it too. The song, "This Little Piggie" is hillarious. It keeps her attention and I have even noticed her starting to sing along and dance too. We have watched it many times and my daughter does not seem to have lost any interest. It has been such a hit I am looking for other Sesame Street videos to add to my collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A 17 month old's favorite
Review: This is another Sesame Street favorite (the other one is "1 2 3 Count with Me"). He likes the songs and often dances during the songs. I love it when he turns to me with a grin, almost saying "isn't this neat".

It's simple graphics and a nice mix of muppets, people and graphics. And it's short -- about 30 minutes. But perfect for a little one's attention span...for a while he would watch only 15 minutes at a time.

From my perspective, I don't find the songs grating (nor do I sing them in the middle of the night when I can't sleep). I highly recommend this video for your starter library.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun for all
Review: Good choices of songs for the very young. It moves quickly and doesn't give too much exposure to any one of the characters. My 16 month is so delighted with this video -- he dances, and "sings". It's easy for my husband or I to watch too.
