My son has 4 Sesame Street albums; I'm a little sick of most of them by now, with the notable exception of Bert & Ernie's Greatest Hits. At 30 now, I grew up with many of these songs ("Rubber Duckie," "Imagination," and "Doin' the Pigeon," anyone?) and remember them with fondness. Today, I have a new appreciation for the clever lyrics and catchy tunes. I also love the newer songs, along with Bert's hysterical commentary on the track "Dance Myself to Sleep." ("Where did the sheep get tap shoes?") As counterpoint to the funny, zippy songs, there are some sweet and lovely slower songs such as "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" and "Up Goes the Castle." All in all, it's an album I can listen to repeatedly. My 22-month-old son can sing along with most of the tunes, and often asks to "listen Ewnie." With an album like this, I'm happy to listen Ewnie, too.

I love it! I grew up listening to Ernie and Bert; and I must say that the opener, "Rubber Duckie" by Ernie is certainly a blast from the past! I also like "Clink Clank" and "The National Association of 'W' Lovers" by Bert, his opening lines to "Pat Pat Patty Pat", and "But I Like You" by Ernie and Bert -- but most of all, I find "Imagination" by Ernie and friends to be an especially pretty song. Grown-up Sesame Street fans, get this Bert and Ernie CD -- I'm sure you'll love it, too!

It's so great to have a children's tape that is in no way below the parents. The various music styles played on real instruments (not synthesizers), and the joy, energy, and great humor make this a family favorite.

Ernie and Bert have some of the best music on Sesame Street, and this album is the place to find it. It not only includes the standards "Rubber Duckie" and "Doin the Pidgeon," but there are some terrific songs that were new to me: an incredible lullaby incorporating deep breathing; "Up Goes the Castle" and a fun song about asking for help; "Lonesome Joan." This CD should have a place in any Sesame Street fan's collection, be they 2 feet or 7 feet tall.

Ernie is my son's universe, he wakes up saying Ernie and we read 2-3 ernie books before we read anything else, and sleep time means Ernie books too. Breakfast and lunch and any meal time means music time! The songs are funny, and don't grow old, they just grow on you, with 3 listens so far, I already know some of the words because they make me laugh out loud! I don't mind watching, reading or listening along with my 16 mo old son endlessly to sesame street, because Bert and Ernie's interaction appeals to the child in us too!

Both our children have listened to this CD hundreds of time in their young lives in the past couple of years. Perfect for little ones and it will renew memories for the older listeners as well.

My daughter loves this, almost all of the songs are favorites. She still gets a laugh out of "Lonesome Joan" and she loves "Dee Dee Dee". It is one of the CDs in our "regular" rotation. I would buy it again in a heartbeat for another child!

This CD is so cute! My kids love it. They have no idea that some of the songs are probably older than their mom! Timeless and quality.

This CD has a nice mix of the songs that you heard growing up on Sesame Street.

We love this CD and have ordered it for gifts. Just good cllean fun and entertainment. None of the songs were annoying like some other children's music.
