Editorial Reviews

The Sesame Street character has fun singing some catchy new songs (you and your toddler just might, too), explaining the difference between light and heavy, having a laugh over pictures and numbers, and sharing the screen with a good-natured Whoopi Goldberg and Julia Roberts. Of the various Elmo videos, this one really does have the choicest material and stands up to repeat viewings--a big plus with little ones. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Elmo fanatics rejoice!, November 3, 2000

This review is from: Sesame Street - The Best of Elmo [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of my favorite Elmo videos! I know, I got it for my now 17 month old daughter a few months ago, but it's one I can either crash in the recliner to watch with her, or leave her to watch it while I do dishes, straighten up, etc. My daughter loves anything musical, and this has fun, catchy little ditties from beginning to end! We rotate this one with several other Elmo videos--for mom and dad's benefit, not the little one's! (she could watch it every day!) If you have a little Elmo fan in the house, you MUST own this video!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 1/2 hour of entertainment., January 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sesame Street - The Best of Elmo (DVD)

My now 3 year old son has loved this video from the time he was 6 months old, he still loves it. It has been watched SO MANY times. My second born child (1)can't seem to get enough of the tape either. I have bought many other Elmo tapes and none of them ever get as much attention as this one has gotten. It contains many songs, lots of them educational. One fine face, Five, Three, etc. These songs are not only catchy tunes but they're also very educational. I highly recommend this video.

My 19-month-old daughter can't get enough, and as a Sesame Street fan from way back, neither can I. The songs make her dance, she has learned the parts of her face, and since we always watch it together, it's perfect for our together-time. It's definitely one of our favorites!
