Similar to "The Best of Kermit" this is arranged as an "award show" - but it contains a fabulous collection of clips with your favorite monsters, and some you've never seen before!

Herry and Elmo host the "Fuzzy Awards," and though Elmo can hardly wait to open the envelope, Herry manages to make him behave while they play the nominees - "Fur," just for fun, "Herry's Family Song," comparing Herry and his parents, "Frazzle," - who says "arrrgh!" no matter what he feels, "Two Heads Are Better than One", with the two-headed monster, "Fuzzy and Blue (and Orange!)" with the terrific trio of Grover, Herry, and Cookie (and Frazzle), "Comb Your Face," "Healthy Food," a Cookie Monster rap, "What Do I Do When I"m Alone" with Grover (what happened to Being Afraid?) and, of course "C is for Cookie."

My favorite moment in the show is the achievement award, which Herry gives to "That Furry Blue Mommy of Mine," a song remeniscent of "Dream a Little Dream" that makes me give my boy an extra squeeze.

Enjoy!

PS. One small dissapointment: it doesn't include "Monster in the Mirror," which surprised me.

Sesame Street's monsters shine in this song-filled, 30-minute video. Highlights are Grover's "What Do I Do When I'm Alone?" and Cookie Monster's "C Is For Cookie", both from 1971. More obscure favorites are 1975's "Fur" and "Frazzle". For those Elmo fans out there, be forewarned: this video came out before Elmo became huge, and therefore, has minimal representation. If you love the monsters and if you love good songs, this video is for you! END

My sister played this for my toddler when we were visiting her, and now that we're back home my son daily asks for "monters." This is great vintage and contemporary Sesame Street fare. Songs like "That Furry Blue Mommy of Mine" are musically sophisticated enough to please parents, and there's also good variety in the selections, which is a help to parents who will hear the songs OVER and OVER and OVER again.

Parents,
This is a great Sesame Songs Video. My 8 year old son loves Cookie Monster and I wanted to find a video that did include him. Tap along as Cookie Monster croons his big hit C Is For Cookie, clap along as Grover sings Fuzzy And Blue and What Do I Do When I'm Alone. Get some more monster in you.

It took our 2 year old a little while to get into this video, but now that he has, he asks for it every night "Onster Hits".

As a parent, it's nice to see characters that I grew up including Grover, Herry, Cookie Monster which don't seem to appear much in the current Sesame Street shows.

There are quite a few monster in this video that I hadn't seen, nor have I seen since, although Frazzle is great.

I'd definitely recommend buying this video. You just may have to view it two or three times for you and your kid(s) to get into it.

Okay I admit it, I never really outgrew Sesame Street and I have bought numerous DVDs for my children. All these years later, they still have the ability to enthrall children.

And of course for adults it brings back many memories of childhood as you revisit some things you have not seen in quite awhile.

Of course the songs remain in your head, and after you hear C is For Cookie a few times, you may find yourself humming it now and again, and you can always tell who has young children if they hear you humming it and give you a knowing smile :)

All in all, you cannot go wrong with Sesame Street videos.

I've bought quite a few used videos lately, as the selection is better than what the stores are carrying lately for Sesame Street. This video is a riot and my daughter begs for it almost daily. Set-up like an awards show, the songs "Fur" and "Fuzzy and Blue" are fun and entertaining even for adults. I like this video because it includes the character Frazzle, who was dropped because he was deemed "too scary" to kids. My 2 year old LOVES Frazzle and begs for his song over and over. How's that for scary? This video is cute and the songs are fun. From the songs mentioned above to "C is for Cookie" this video contains lots of monster fun!

My son is close to sixteen months old at the time of this writing, and over a year ago he started loving this video. To this day, except for the Grover's song, "What Do I Do When I'm Alone", playing it on our VCR is an automatic way to get him to calm down, no matter his mood.

This video will give you so much mileage and make your child smile in such a unique way, you will wonder how could anyone want to ever get rid of it. It's by all means the video that has given us in the family more moments of joy since Santiago was born. I wish you the same fortune.

Sometimes it takes a few viewings to get into a video in our house. I always preview the tapes before my 17 month old watches them, just to make sure they aren't too scary. I watched this one twice, I loved it so much! This tape is now played every day without fail, and we all love it. Don't be put off by the style of the songs. They aren't really modern sounding, but they are so catchy, that you can't help but love them. Remember that these tapes are for your child, but you have to watch them, too. Enjoy!!

I was completely overjoyed when I saw this dvd on amazon. I have old school seasame street books back from 30 years ago from my older brother, so I am quite familar with the old monsters. My almost 1 year old son loves frazzle, everytime he sees a page with him in it he kicks his legs and gives me a huge smile. :-D I am saving this for his birthday in november but my friend has the dvd also so I did get to view it and it was very musical and fun, an attention grabbing for any young kid. My son always bobs his head when he hears his music, so it is perfect for him.
