Well, based on the title of this DVD I thought it would actually be about counting and numbers. I was looking for something to help my 2 year old with his counting.
It's actually a "COUNT DOWN" of Sesame Street music videos hosted by The Count.
In all honesty, it's a good DVD. Entertaining enough for my little ones. My son and daughter and even the baby all dance and jump up and down from beginning to end to the music on the DVD.
The only real counting is in the last song called, "Count it Higher" which is very fun, lively, and upbeat...but it doesn't really in my opinion, help teach counting very well.
I guess if you're looking for a fun video that will get your kids dancing, this is a good choice.

This DVD is so much fun. It stars the beloved Sesame Street character including the Count, of course. But beyond just counting, the video is fun. Funny jokes, music and colors...It's a lof of fun and my kid loves it. Parents: you children will learn their number with this DVD before they even realize they are learning and not just watching some video.

The Count is my 3 year old son's favorite character on Sesame Street and I was hoping to get a dvd with more of him in it. He was the host, but there were not any of his skits in it :-(

We aren't crazy about this dvd. I thought the songs would be about counting, but it's only a countdown of songs. Most of the songs are slow and not upbeat with not much action (like doctors singing about hygiene). It's very dated looking. My toddler usually wanders off when this is on. She likes Kids Favorite Songs with Elmo much better.

We don't have a television in our household, but we allow our 2 year-old daughter to watch a few, select videos. When I babysat two young boys (more than 15 years ago), I found this video so entertaining that I made a mental note to track down a copy when I had kids in the future. When I revisited the video in the last year, I was not disappointed. Each of the songs is driven by witty word play and is either inspired by a specific rock tune or a general style of popular music. From the "Beetles" "Letter B" to Ernie's reggae "Do De Rubber Duck," the songs are a lot of fun. I haven't been equally impressed with the other Sesame Street videos we've purchased, but this one is definitely a keeper.

My two-year-old and I think this is the greatest! He's enjoyed some other Sesame Street videos, but after a while he's invariably gotten bored with them--not this one. I think it's because it's more music and less talk. We especially love the honkers, and "de rubber duck", and Count it Higher has become the first tv performance to get my son to jump off as much energy at home as he does when he gets to play outside, so it's been great for rainy days. I also like that it's only half an hour long--I don't like sitting my boy in front of the tv for long periods of time, and he's never impressed when I try to cut some of the hour-long programs short. Though I do confess that when we watch this one we often watch some parts again when we're done.

We took this along with us recently to a small dinner party so we'd have something to entertain and distract our boy with. It ended up being the big hit of the evening for the adults. They kept gravitating towards it, talking about which songs they liked the best and how much they loved Sesame Street.

This video came very quick and my son loves it sooo much!! We watch at least 3 times a week!! Not to mention the price was phenomenal!!

a mixed collection of songs supposed to be countdown but does not start from 10!

I bought this product as an interactive tool to help my son counting numbers. The video was about count down video-musical hits from Sesame Street. My six year old and me agree giving it two thumbs down.

As a 20-something looking for a little nostalgia, this video brings back my Sesame Street memories from the 80s. I originally had it on video, and was delighted to see it was later released on DVD. A must have for any adult Sesame Street collector/fan!
