My kids (3 and 1 and a half) love Sesame Street's Count on Me 123 video. They were a little younger when I first bought it and while the storyline (Ernie finds a 'Furry Arms' room key on the street, returns it to the hotel & starts teaching everyone how to count) went over their heads at first, the catchy tunes, skits & scenes (mainly from the early Sesame Street episodes) soon caught their attention. There's a cohesive plot & everything links well.

Now my 3-year-old knows most of the words and even my one-and-a-half can say some numbers - it's a great video, fun to watch even for adults, and I highly recommend it.

Learning about Letters is more of a cut-and-paste of other Sesame Street skits & scenes - not that this isn't good, just that it's standard fare. I like that they are taken from the earlier Sesame Street episodes as I prefer the quality then. And my one-and-a-half year old loves the "C is for Cookie" song that I remember from back then!

My grandson LOVES this dvd(I started with the Letters), the episodes of which his mother had also enjoyed many years ago. The repetition and lively muppets are holding his attention at four months. He bounces up and down during the parts he likes and cries when the dvd is over.

My son is two and has had these videos for about 6 months. He can identify every letter in the alphabet and is counting almost to twenty now! I work with him a lot, but I would say these DVD's are a great help because his favorite Sesame Street characters make it fun and present the info differently than I do. Both of them are an essential part of our Sesame Street collection.

I purchased the 123 Count with Me/Learning About Letters DVD combo for my 22 month old son and after watching it twice a day for one month, he began reading our neighbor's license plates! I feel that the Learning About Letters DVD has benefitted our son the most. This video shows each letter of the alphabet for a few seconds and gives multiple examples of their usage, such as: "Apple starts with 'A' and airplane starts with 'A'." Parker loves to watch Ernie in the 123 Count with Me video, but he is not as confident in his numeral recognition skills as he is in his letter recognition. It would be my assumption(which very well could be inaccurate) that this is because there is more music and conversation and less emphasis on the numbers themselves. Both DVDs have great entertainment value for toddlers and adults, but Learning about Letters is, in my opinion, the better of the two.

My kids love these movies! They sing the counting songs, and the alphabet songs all the time. Really fun movies that encourage toddlers and preschoolers to learn numbers, counting, letters, and the order of the alphabet. Highly recommended for any sesame street fan.

I think my husaband and I enjoy this video almost as much as our 22 month old daughter does. It includes alot of "vintage" Sesame Street number clips. The variety of formats is refreshing. Most important, it engages our daughter in learning about numbers and practicing counting.

Good. Came in the mail 2 days before site said it would... Cant beat that. Covers all the basics. Some of the songs will get stuck in your head but thats kinda the point. Kids will learn from these if they watch it multiple times

I have purchased many items on line but this is the first one I have ever taken the time to write a review. This is the second DVD I have purchased. The first was lost and my 2 1/2 year old kept asking for it (123 Count with Me). In the first couple of weeks, my 2 yr old was signing one of the songs where he was counting to 20. The music sticks with you. We have not watched Learning About Letters as much so I don't have much to say about it. 123 Count with Me is played several times a day and when it is not playing, my son is walking around the house singing the songs. I would recommend this product as a learning tool as well as for any child that enjoys music.

These dvds are pretty good. Would have given 4 stars, but at the beginning there is a Sesame Street commercial asking for "your support" (aka money). That isn't the problem. The problem is that you CAN'T scan past it!! So every morning I have to sit through 30: of Whoopie Goldberg asking for $. It is annoying.

After watching "123 Count with Me" a few times my 22 mo. old son was counting to ten!! I can't tell you how long I tried, but this video made it click! The ABC one is good too and he has definitely learned to identify letters from this video. Both videos are educational and very fun!!
