Summary: I know this show backwards and forwards...
Review: ...if that tells ya anything.

My 20 month old absolutely goes nuts over this DVD. We bought it for her the day after we bought our new minivan with the DVD player. She was not yet 18 months. This is her favorite DVD, and she always ask for this one. I've purchased other Sesame Street DVDs and other characters' DVDs, but she begs for this one by singing, "La la la la Olivia's song". She sings along to most of the songs now and she hasn't had it that long. My favorite part is the Mother Goose Jamboree. It's jazzy... I love it.

I particularly like the little kids talking and singing, and I think my daughter does, too. I even like the little Asian girl who says that Jack and Jill are "probably English". All kids have their own personalities and it's sweet to see them express themselves. My only complaint is that there aren't any southerners on the show (wink wink).

Summary: It's for preschoolers
Review: Actually, if you are preschooler, this is a great video. True, the Ant/Itsy Bisty Spider lady does grate my nerves and "The Noble Duke of York" is turned into a politically correct "Captain Brown." But the video isn't suppose to appeal to adult- the target audiance are preschoolers. And it works. My three year son could watch it all day. The songs are good, clean, children's classics. And there is a nice mix of girls/boys and ethnic children. And I the "extra" skit after the credits is cute. I would rank this a five star video except for all the advertisements at the end of the tape.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cute with lots of songs!
Review: After almost a month, our almost-2-year-old still wants to watch this every day, sometimes twice! The look of this video seems a bit "fresher" to me than other recent Sesame Street productions, and the songs are great. I get a kick out of the short "real kid" segments, and there's a lot that's funny. Snuffy's running "meatball" gag is cute, and Baby Bear's near-exasperation in "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" will make you chuckle.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mesmerizing for our 8 month old.
Review: He loves this video. When Elmo comes on he smiles and kicks his leg in anticipation. He likes to see the children sing and tries to sing with them, even though he can't talk yet. Excellent video. I would recommend this to any parent.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My 18 month old loves this video!
Review: I bought this DVD for my daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. When I ask if she'd like to watch the Elmo movie she starts dancing around and giggling. Her favorite part is Snuffy singing "On Top of Spaghetti" and when the meatball falls off the plate she throws her hands in the air and yells, "oh no!" And then she starts "sneezing". She does loose interest somewhere in the middle but it provides me with a great distraction for her while I make dinner.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Run away meatball....
Review: I bought this dvd to try and get my 1 yr old to watch something other than Bob the Builder. In the beginning he liked the show but as he got a little older he became afraid of the run away meatball that keeps appearing throughout the show which at the end almost gets elmo. Now when I put it on I have to skip the part where the meatball almost flattens elmo.

He loves sesame street now but is still scarred of that meatball. If you get this for your child watch their reaction and don't let them get scarred buy it. My son is now afraid of anything that is coming toward him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great music for babies and toddlers!
Review: I bought this video for my son when he was 7 mos. old after I found that he loved Kids Favorite Songs 1. Six months later, he still loves it--he claps and dances to the music. (This video is also one of my 14 mos old niece's favorites.) Also, now that he is older and is curious about other children, he likes to watch the children being interviewed. As with most Sesame Street music, the songs are arranged beautifully and some of the arrangements are pretty sophisticated. There is a little more humor for adults in this one than #1 so watching it for the 50th time doesn't make you want to pull your hair out (how can you not laugh when the Mary puppet of "Mary had a little lamb" fame admonishes her lamb in a Scottish brogue?). Also, the video includes an episode of Hero Guy, which is always fun. (By the way, if your child is young (3-6 mos.), s/he probably will not be able to watch for more than 5 to 10 minutes at a time because of their short attention spans.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best investment I have made in the past 15 months!
Review: I can honestly say this is the very best investment I could have made. And, if I would have known it sooner I would have bought it months ago and paid 10 times what I paid for this!
My son is a rather busy child and is into everything and always underneath of me. He is always where I am and never does a thing by himself. Pop this video in and he's gone. He screams when the video starts and gets his spot in front of the tv and starts dancing. The reason I do think he's in love with this video is because Elmo "interviews" actual children and asks what their favorite song is. Then the children either talk about it or sing the song and my son loves kids so he's glued to the tv. We have quite a collection of Sesame videos but this is by far his favorite. I bought the kids favorite songs 1 today and will see if he loves this as much. The tunes are regular nursery rhymes and my husband and I are always singing these at any given moment because we've watched it a hundred times!
This is soo worth it for the free time we get and the ear to ear grin my son has when it's on.

Summary: Sesame Street Kids Favorite Songs 2
Review: I hated this video. The favorite songs #1 is great. My 9 month old daughter loves it. What a disapointment the second one was. They don't have enough of the Sesame Street characters in it. It's a lot of clips of kids talking and singing and bad cartoons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LOVED THIS!
Review: I have a 9 month old son & he is absolutly GLUED to this from the minute it starts. He dances & is so into it. I think this is the 1st video i have ever gotten him to watch. Other cartoons just don't attract him... He loves Elmo & all the kids sing with the characters. All really great songs. I DEFINATLY recommend this video for your kids! My son loves it so much i have just ordered the 1st one for him.
