5.0 out of 5 stars love those dogs, September 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sesame Street - Mother Goose [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this video for my granddaughter, who is just over 2. She loves it and so do I! One poor dog, Simon, does not know how to rhyme and his mother(Mother Goose's daughter) is trying to help him by going over Mother Goose rhymes. It is clever and very funny for the adults. The children are listening to rhymes that I think all children should be exposed to and enjoying the dogs because they are so funny. Much better to watch with a child than those cartoon videos. My granddaughter always asks me to play the dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wry twist on old favorites, February 21, 2000

This review is from: Sesame Street - Mother Goose [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I love this video, as does my 2-yr old son, my 35-yr old husband, my 55 yrold father-in-law and my 69-yr old mom. It's refreshing to find a video made for kids that adults can enjoy just as much (which is why I loathe Barney, who makes me barf). I completely disagree with the previous reviewer; this video is every bit as entertaining as Alphabet Soup or Fay's 12 Days of Xmas. The visuals are so incongruously funny; the costuming and set decoration are top notch; the dogs are smart and adorable; and I enjoyed Wegman's wry and sardonic commentary on the nursery rhymes. If you want straight, non-nonsense Mother Goose, I'd suggest Richard Scarry's Best Mother Goose video, which presents the rhymes in traditional and charming song form. But the Wegman tape is dogs dressed in ermine and velvet, pretending to be Miss Muffet, for crying out loud! Of course it's not taking it seriously. Enjoy it for what it is!

This review is from: Sesame Street - Mother Goose [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this video for my 4-year-old, and even at the ripe old age of 6 he will still sit and watch him over and over. At first he just liked the visuals--the weirdness of dogs dressed in clothes. Now he catches the puns and rhymes. A great video for little ones to grow up with....
