Sesame Street - Kids' Favorite Songs

Sesame Street is great, don't get me wrong -- I watched it as a child at my son watches it today. That said, I think I've had enough of Elmo. He's everywhere and it's out of control. They'll have you believe that you have to spend $[...] on every new Elmo toy in order for your child to be happy. Contrary to that belief, I happen to feel that there are much more productive and enjoyable activities you and your kids can be doing (like from a children's activities site like http://www.activitiesforbaby.com ). Fun and educational activities don't have to cost a lot of money and they don't have to be on the television and they definitely don't have to include Elmo!

My daughter is 19 months old and absolutely loves this DVD. I only gave it 4 stars because the sound quality is AWFUL, but she doesn't seem to mind in the least. She can't take her eyes off the screen and smiles throughout The Count's Song "This Old Bat". When the DVD is over she often says, "Again?" Of course I don't let her watch it twice in a row, but the fact that she requests it says it all-- she's never requested a DVD before. Overall, I'm happy I bought it for her. The puppets are the stars, not kids or adults.

I bought it because my son loved part 2. The second one is better. If you have to choose, get Kids Favorite Songs 2. This one is good though.

The family liked this enough that we bought it twice. Our first copy was a hit with our son when he was 1-2 years old then it was broken by a cousin. I bought it again for our daughter who is 2 and she also loves it.

It keeps the interest of my 18 month old. She really doesn't watch any videos and truly enjoys this one (plus Kid's Favorite Songs 2). The songs are great and she is learning the words to many of the songs. You will find her playing with her toys while singing these songs or making her own version of these songs. It's a must have.
