Summary: ELMO'S WORLD!
Review: After seeing these episodes of "Elmo's World" on Sesame Street numerous times....I knew that I had to purchase this tape. It is amazing how my son will drop everything he is doing just to see Elmo. I love how the writers of the "Elmo's World" series use Elmo to teach children my son's age (2 yrs) how to share, about babies & fruit. I recommend Elmo & the rest of the Sesame Street Collection to all parents with young children. I also recommend "Elmo's Adventures in Grouchland".

Summary: the banana skit makes it (thank you!)
Review: Although overall I find the Elmo videos much more annoying than, say, Teletubbies, there are some genuinely intriguing moments here. The emergence of the new Mr. Noodle, Mr. Noodle's brother, is welcome if a little disturbing (why another Mr. Noodle? is there a succession in the works?), as the original Mr. Noodle is at best aloof. There is still the annoying tendency to turn to TV for answers to Elmo's rather mundane questions ("Where can Elmo learn more?"), and CTW's ideology of "making things relevant for kids" by simulating TV conventions ("The Music Channel" et al) begs the question of whether they are really simply inflicting television-centric mores and expectations on unconditioned kids.

The gem of the video is the "Top Banana" skit. In a nod to the early vaudevillian genius of Jerry Lewis and George Burns, the slow burn of repeated "Thank you" rimshots (even Elmo gets into the act) is genuinely funny, unlike the tired visits from the wishfully-Simpsonesque Old MacDonald or Accordion Man.

Given my dauther's love of Elmo, however, this is a must-have.

Summary: A super- funny romp with Elmo!
Review: I bought this video almost a year ago and my daughter still watches it once a day. It is cute (we love the parts with Mr. Noodle, because he is so funny) and educational in it's own silly way. I do have to have bananas on hand when she's watching this video though, because as soon as the banana part comes on, she wants one (and she knows how to peel it now, thanks to this video). A must-have for Elmo fans (as are all the Elmo's World videos) this one is played in our house often.

Summary: Great video for babies
Review: I got this DVD for my 3 month old since he has developed an interest in music and singing. He loves this video. He can only watch it for 20 minutes or so before he falls asleep, but he laughs and kicks his feet while he is watching it. My husband and I found it to be great when he is bored or fussy for no apparent reason. Some of the other DVDs are more for toddlers, but he really seems to like this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: First word was Elmo!
Review: My son is 2, but he's loved Elmo since he was a month old. This was one of the DVDs I bought him a year ago. He loves Mr. Noodle along with the song they do at the end of the program. At first, I never thought he would quite catch on to Elmo, but at a month old, I had him watching Sesame Street, and he was bouncing like crazy every time Elmo came on! Even his first word was Elmo! Now he has this DVD, Wake Up with Elmo!, Wild Wild West, Best of Elmo, and some others that would take up more space if I named them all!
