Editorial Reviews

Everyone on Sesame Street has a different way of getting ready for bed. Big Bird fluffs up his nest. Ernie dances himself to sleep. Cookie Monsters sings "If Moon Was Cookie," and The Count – that’s right – counts sheep. These delightful songs, sketches and stories could soon become your kid’s favorite way to go to "night night." Songs on this DVD: "Dance Myself to Sleep, "Moonshine Song," "If Moon Was Cookie," "Snuffle Lullabye," "Everybody Sleeps," and "Imagination." Running Time approximately 30 minutes

5.0 out of 5 stars Our favorite Sesame Street dvd, November 28, 2006

This review is from: Sesame Street - Sleepytime Songs & Stories (DVD)

We first owned this on video back in about 1996, when our first child was just starting to watch videos. She wore out two or three copies of this video and then once our second child came along, I could no longer find it. Thankfully it came out on dvd in time for baby number three because this is the very best Sesame Street dvd we own. It is soothing and cozy and the stories and songs are classically wonderful. Our favorite is "If Moon Were Cookie" but the whole thing is just great. I love the story about the sun and moon. The dvd is hosted by Big Bird and he is trying to show the viewer ways to fall asleep if they are having trouble sleeping. We still watch this dvd all the time, and the oldest child, the one whose favorite it was ten years ago, still sneaks in now and gets it and sometimes watches it before bedtime, using her sister as an excuse. We love this. It is highly recommended.

This review is from: Sesame Street - Sleepytime Songs & Stories (DVD)

This is a really nice sleepytime video with some of the most beloved characters. It is very nostalgic for me because I absolutely loved the "Everybody Sleeps" song as a little girl and it is included in the video. I believe that is the most helpful portion of the video for my daughter who just turned two. We use this video once or twice a week when we don't read a story before bedtime.

The video is hosted by Big Bird and helps to talk the kids through getting to sleep. Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert, Snuffleupagus, Gordon, and several other characters have a part.

The reason I did not give this video 5 stars is because at the end of the extremely peaceful, restful video that eases your children quietly into sleep is an Elmo add. It literally goes from soft music box player music of the Sesame Street theme song panning back from Sesame Street into LOUD ELMO AD. I was not happy. I try to quietly step out of the room while my daughter is getting to sleep on the "everybody sleeps" song and try to time it to make it back to stop it from waking her up.

Its a love-hate relationship with this video I'm afriad. The video is great, but I wish they'd saved their darn ads for the beginning if they had to include them.

My 2 and 3-year old sons love this DVD. Lots of puppets and cute scenes with catchy songs. Great for pre-bedtime. A really cute and calming DVD. We're very glad we purchased this one. You won't be disappointed.
