I bought this DVD for my 2 1/2 year old cousin who adores Elmo and it was a great buy. The songs are very catchy and i cant help it but to sing along. We play it in the car, at home and every where we can. The video is very informative about "going green" but i think an older child would appreciate the message better.In addition to all of this, Elmo looks so adorable green!

My two-year-old loves this video, and I actually don't mind having to watch it over and over again. Paul Rudd is entertaining, and the show does a great job explaining what "being green" means and what they can do to help the Earth. Great message for Earth day and every day!

I really like that it speaks to the kids about being green always, and doesn't hit on just Earth Day. The issues Elmo and Abby cover are recycling and reusing discarded items. They even learn what the earth is. A satilite view zooms in to a city view. What a great way to take a hard to understand concept and lay it out simply. Through out the movie there are three monsters answering phones. They are accepting pledges for kids, pledges to do their part. I love the message that everyone can get involved, and that it really is easy to make a difference.

This one is something new we wanted to try. She loves the song at the end and will sing along.

Considering our 4-year-old's favorite color by FAR is green, he was already intrigued at a video in which Elmo actually turns green. But luckily for us, he liked the rest of it too--including the highly funny turn by Paul Rudd as Mr. Earth, a treat for grown-ups as well as kids. He provides some of those jokes for adults that Sesame Street so often tosses in, bless them--"These things tend to go comically awry," he warns when Elmo prepares to make a magical wish to "be more green."

Plus, now, thanks to this video, we have more success in reminding our son to turn off the water or lights when he's done. (As for recycling, he was already a big fan, but that's because of the trucks.)

Whether you are 2 or 20, this DVD is great entertainment! Paul Rudd is fabulous. He is funny and his original songs are catchy. It's not just Elmo and the Sesame Street gang. There are excerpts of places all over our beautiful planet that teaches children of all ages the importance of taking care of our Earth because "Earth Rocks"! As a teacher and a mom, I highly recommend to all.

My daughter loves this video. She is 2 3/4 now and still watched it regularly.
The songs are catchy and I have them stuck in my head after we watch it.
It teaches a valuable lesson and is really cute too.
It keeps her attention and that is the most important!

My 20mo. old child loves this movie! I find myself singing along too! :)
Elmo and the other cuties aim to please as usual. They are teaching the children about what "the world" is and how its up to all of us to take care of it. Also, it helps to clarify the "being green" slogan.
You can only imagine what a child would think of "being green", take it a step further and there you go. (don't want to ruin the surprise for you, you'll have to watch it yourself)

Catchy songs and fun stuff, I definately recommend it.

I bought this for my 15 month old who loves Elmo. I am a teacher and think it is so educational and entertaining. It is a very cool tool to help children understand the importance of going green. But it's not the best choice for a baby. There is a lot of information that would hold the attention of a 4 year old, but not a toddler. The concepts and language are a little more mature on this one than "Bedtime with Elmo" and "Elmo Loves You" which my little one adores. I will put it away for a while and gladly bring it out when my son is older.

kids love this dvd! What a great way to teach ur kids about being green!
