Summary: Buy this and have fun with your toddler!
Review: Forget what the others say about Baby Bear's lisp! Kids lovehim. He is the central character in a fun story about the alphabet.If you want your child to be watching an entertaining, giggly 1/2 hour of educational video, buy this one! He or she may not be saying the alphabet by the end of first viewing, but they will recognize it! I bought this when my twins were six months old. They are still spellbound by this video, dancing and laughing, and not by many others--even after twelve months of viewing pleasure. That's not bad for the life-span of a kid's video at this price. Thanks again to Sesame Street video.

Summary: My little girl adores this video!
Review: I purchased the "Do the Alphabet" and the "123 Count With Me" video packaged together. My daughter is nine months old (today!) and has been watching the video since she was about 4 1/2 months old. She has watched it with enthusiasm. She's beginning to dance to the music. When you sing the alphabet, she watches you intently. She stops what she's doing and will watch this video. Her favorite parts are when the letter F is presented ("Faces"), the alphabet jungle and when Baby Bear says the alphabet all by himself. She has this huge smile on her face and jumps up and down in my lap. I guess my only complaint is how annoying Baby Bear can be to us adults. But since the video isn't for my entertainment, I don't mind in the least. She will watch Sesame Street, on video and television, but not Barney or Teletubbies or even Blue's Clues. She's a Sesame Street girl, that's for sure!...

Summary: My 15 month old loves this video!
Review: This is a very educational video for toddlers. My 15 month old daughter has watched it over and over and loves to dance to it and I don't have to feel guilty because I know she's getting information along with the entertainment. It also encourages the kids to get up and move instead of just sitting there watching. In one segment the children are led through exercises where they try to form letters with their bodies. My only criticism is of baby bear and his baby talk. I think it sets a bad example. My friend's children never baby-talked until they started watching SS and heard baby bear do it and now they think it is cool to talk that way. Other than that, this is a great video and I like that the alphabet is sung and said repeatedly in different ways so that the child hears each letter distinctly and won't mistakenly believe that LMNO is one letter, as sometimes happens when the traditional ABC song is the only way they hear it.

Summary: there are better videos to teach the ABCs
Review: While this video does have catchy songs, i did not like it that much. So far my 3 year old daughter has not learned the alphabet from it, although she watches it very often. This video spends too much time explaining why the bear wants to learn the alphabet and not enough time actually learning the alphabet. The video is 30 minutes long and i guess they only spend 15 minutes actually learning the ABCs. Although I have to admit the children enjoy it very much, for the catchy songs and the familiar characters. I suggest Dr. Suess's ABCs. My 4 year old learned the whole alphabet from watching it just a few times. I also like that it mimics the book. My son is thrilled that he can read the Dr. Seuss's ABCs book.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST!
Review: My 3 year old and I love this video. My sister purchased it about four years ago for my nephew. She passed it down to me once my nephew no longer needed it and believe me when I say I have become eternally grateful. You will find this video very cute as you watch Baby Bear dodge the "Nosey Posey" Goldilocks to say the Alphabet without her assistance. I found it hilarious that Baby Bear could not say the whole alphabet but used the word REGRESSED correctly in a sentence. (This video helped to make Baby Bear one of my favorite Sesame Street characters) This video is great. Not only does it teach the Alphabet, but I also found that the songs that are sung for certain letters are the letters that my three-year old had a hard time remembering...UNTIL THIS VIDEO!!! Songs range from, "Alphabet Jungle", "Let's Sing a Song about J", and "The D Song". My son sings along to all the songs, he even gets up to do the Alphabet Exercises!! I would recommend this video to any and every parent of a young child. Not only is it educational and fun, but it will also give us parents 40 minutes of peace!!! * I also recommend Richard Scary's Best Learning Video Ever, and Sesame Street: Learning About Numbers*

Summary: Not the best
Review: I had bought "Learning About Letters" when my oldest son was about 2, which is excellent and will be out on DVD soon. This DVD is not nearly as good - not as much to help learn. The storyline is weak, and there is nbot much emphasis on the letters themselves. Most of it is about Baby Bear's frustration in trying to say the alphabet. My 2 younger boys (4 and 2) have not been very interested in this one. Get "Learning About Letters" instead, which does the entire alphabet several times and highlights letters instead of Baby Bear trying to say the alphabet.

Summary: GREAT AND EDUCATIONAL
Review: My son loves this DVD. It was one of his first Sesame Street DVD's and is still one of his favorites. It is very educational in learning the alphabet. The only thing that I didn't like was the way Baby Bear pronounces his words (although my son doesn't mind one bit). Other than that I would defenitely recommed this to your library for your young ones.

Summary: Excellent for learning the alphabet!
Review: I started my son watching this video when he was about 18 mos old. I would put it on when I was making dinner to keep him occupied and out of the kitchen. It helped him learn the alphabet. He loved it and will still watch it even now at age 4.

Summary: My daughter loves it!
Review: We all love Sesame Street, but I highly recommend this dvd. You know how the kids mostly like the singing part of the video, well on this dvd you can chose just to play the songs and eliminate the talking. My daughter doesn't move for at least 30 minutes. She also loves 25th Sesame Street Celebration, and Count with me 123.

Summary: Ok, but not great
Review: After reading some of the other reviews before I bought this for my twin 2 year olds I was very excited. After watching it I have to say I'm disappointed. The songs are great, but I don't think the overall storyline is great or easy for young children to follow.I think they go through too fast, emphasizing some letters and just blowing through all the others. If I could go back I wouldn't have bought this DVD.
