My Thoughts:
Even though we have only had this new release for a week now, we have already seen it over a dozen times. Both my girls are fans of Sesame Street, and especially love Elmo and Abby Cadabby. So, when they saw this review copy in the mail, which had their favorite Sesame Street characters on the cover, they couldn't wait to watch it. This DVD contains over two hours of fun episodes and clips, which teach little ones about the alphabet, counting and shapes -- all things that Savannah is learning right now. :-)
When the girls weren't singing with Bert and Ernie, they were learning the alphabet with Cookie Monster, whose favorite letter was "C" -- I wonder why? :-) I love sitting and watching Sesame Street with the girls, not only because it offers wonderful educational programming, but also because of the segments where popular celebrities come on and interact with the Sesame Street characters for the "Word of the Day" and other sing alongs. This DVD includes celebrities segments with: Johnny Cash, James Blunt, Julianne Moore, Ricky Gervais, Elvis Costello and James Taylor, to name a few. My favorite was the pairing of James Blunt and Telly Monster, as they sang "My Triangle" together. So catchy!
No matter which Sesame Street character is your child's favorite, they will love this new Sesame Street DVD release. And, don't forget to take advantage of the bonus features, which include a printable activity book, tips for parents and the abilities to add English and Spanish subtitles.
