Rating: Summary: Really helps teach kids to count Review: This movie has got so much music and fun things happening that kids don't even realise that they are learning to count. Between Ernie, Mr. Dinger and Benny, there are counting lessons in every skit and song, whether you're counting elephants, fish, dings or room keys. After watching this one a few times, you'll find your kids singing and counting, and enjoying themselves while doing it.
Rating: Summary: Bad Influence Review: There is so much to love about the SS approach to teaching children, but this video is a grave disappointment. Throughout the video this bunny with a rotten attitude screams at everyone for little to no reason. With small children imitating everything they see, this is harmful exposure for behaviour development. I also agree with the review about Elmo. I have a growing annoyance with listening to Elmo speak in the third person. Come on! Are you educational or not?
Rating: Summary: Can't get enough of this video Review: I received this video from a friend who had 2 copies. My 17-month old has been into the Baby Einstein videos and doesn't really watch much Sesame Street, but I thought I would try it anyway. He LOVES this video (enough for me to write a review). It has some really cute humor and songs (even for adults). I actually remember some of these songs from my childhood. My husband and I admit that we find this to be less annoying than most kiddie videos and have been caught singing the theme around the house. Next I'm going to try one of the letter or alphabet Sesame Street videos to see if he likes those that much.
Rating: Summary: Ernie sings some FUN songs! Review: My 18 month old daughter loves this dvd. And you know what? I do, too! There are some classic songs I remember from Sesame Street as a child along with some newer songs, all about counting. All the songs are catchy and fun. My daughter is learning how to count with the help of Ernie, his friends, and Elmo, as well. Sesame Street has once again succeeded at making learning an enjoyable experience! The DVD is nice because the menu has all the songs available to listen to at your preference. The length is about 40 minutes. This is a great buy, and I highly recommend it!
Rating: Summary: 1 and 2 and 3...we love Ernie! Review: This video is so much fun. My 15-month-old starts dancing as soon as it comes on. The "Counting Crows" segment along with a little "Bob Dylan" make this just as entertaining for moms and dads. As usual, Sesame Workshop scores a winner!
Rating: Summary: Not for Sesame Street "lifers" Review: I have to say I had higher hopes for this video; Sesame Street has such a wonderful stable of number clips, and I was hoping to see better ones. So, for the first time, I'm recommending the between-clip footage over the clips! The opening song "That's How The Numbers Go" could easily become the numerical version of the ABC song; its jazzy and singable and goes all the way to twenty. The setup is that Ernie stops by the Furry Arms Hotel to return a lost room key, where he shows bumbling hotel owners Humphrey and Ingrid that things (like room keys) can be organized with numbers. I also like that this video isn't scrubbed clean of any conflict - the much-maligned bellhop, Benny the Bunny, is one of Kevin Clash's best characters, and he's terrific in this video; he and Ernie show how to return a sour face with a smile (and some innocent teasing!) Although there is one good clip - "Martian Beauty #9," unfortunately, this doesn't include some of the ingenious and artistic number clips from Sesame Street past: no bakers falling down stairs, no pinball machine, no counting marble machines. Instead, you get the lukewarm "#11 rap," which shows pictures of 11 things, and "Five Jive with Elmo Hammer," which is already on too many Sesame Street videos as it is. Yawn.
Rating: Summary: the best song Review: My son 2 years old really like it even me . the song is great. easy to listen and remember. my son tell me to play it again and again. you got to have this one.
Rating: Summary: This one is great Review: My 2 1/2 year old twin toddler boys love this video and it isn't so bad for mom to watch either. It is very educational and has great repetition for the numbers. This is one to buy!
Rating: Summary: My 2 year old loves this one. Review: Lots and lots of Ernie!
Rating: Summary: Greate fun for my 2.5 year old son Review: My 2.5 year old want's this & the A to Z DVD all the time. We live in Israel, and he learned the english numbers within a week of seeing the DVD! (he only knew the hebrew count before) A good buy
