Editorial Reviews

Becoming a big kid can be hard sometimes. For a young child it can be tough to give up a binky, learn to ride a tricycle or get a first haircut. With a story where Elmo remembers giving up his binky as the centerpiece, this release will feature stories that preschoolers can relate to, as well as giving useful suggestions to parents at the same time. In the same way that "Elmo's Potty Time" was relevant for our audience, we hope that this title will help kids feel "they can do it" too, just like their good friend Elmo. As an added bonus, this title will feature a Bye-Bye Pacifier! animation and a new "Big Kid Song" sung by Elmo.

3.0 out of 5 stars Listing Needs A Description April 3, 2012

By Kimberley

My daughter is at the age where I'd like her to ditch her binky. She LOVES Elmo so I thought this video would be perfect. Unfortunately, there is no description of the video included with this listing so I assumed the entire video was about giving up your pacifier. In actuality, only the first fifteen minutes is about saying bye bye to your binky. The rest is two other short stories--one about learning to ride a trike and one about getting a haircut. If I had known this beforehand, I probably would have looked for something else. However, if you're just looking for a cute Sesame Street video, it's not a bad choice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute but long January 8, 2012

My grandson is almost two and his parents want the binky gone. He had it in his mouth whenever he could find it and had to have it to go to sleep at night and afternoons. I sat down and watched the movie with him. He loves Elmo so that kept him watching but the show got rather long for him. I think it did get the point across though because shortly after his binky actually broke and he handled it very well. His mom reminded him of how Elmo handled letting his go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute -- but not all about Pacifiers April 6, 2013

By Aaron Moe

The "bye bye pacifier" portion of this DVD is about 1/3 of the overall content. The rest is about riding bikes and getting hair cuts, both of which were pretty inapplicable to my daughter who already rides a strider with confidence and doesn't need her hair cut (probably for years!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great story about giving up a pacifier, but other stories in there too September 12, 2012

I was worried about getting our 2 year old to give up the pacifier before the new baby came (only used at night & couldn't sleep without it) and so I bought this. I played it a lot and the actual story about the pacifier is great but it is sandwiched in between other "big kid" stories. I almost think it gets lost in the mix to be honest. Not sure if it really helped the 2 year old but it did help me come up with a story that the pacifier fairy took the pacifiers & left a toy, etc. instead- which is one of the scenarios from the movie. If your kid loves Sesame Street then I say go for it if your concerned about pacifiers but I'm not sure if I'd spend the $ again.

My one year old was glued to the tv when I played this video for him and he doesn't really sit still for longer than 5-10 min at a time. I used this and other videos when he is having a meal and he just absolutely loves them.

The song in this video is so endearing. I find myself humming it while I am at work. My daughter is getting ready to get rid of her binky and I think that this video might just do the trick.
