It is amazing how my 23 month-old girl quickly learned how tranquilizing and "soothing" this video is! She goes to her bed and waits for Big Bird to announce his methods of falling asleep... By the time the Count counts sheep, she's sound asleep! This video is just the right one for kids' bedtime!

We bought this video in 1996 for our first child and we are now using it for our third. This is a wonderful video, probably the best in our collection. It is calming and sweet but also entertaining. It works too...it always calms them down and puts the baby to sleep. Our oldest, now nine, still enjoys watching it, and the two younger ones (1 and 4) share a room and both really enjoy it. The songs are nice and the skits are fun but calming. My favorite part is the moon and sky story, but I also like the rest of the video as well. It is calming to hear in the background, because I know soon they will be asleep!

Weve had this tape since the 80's. We have raised 4 kids with it, now my 15 year old wants it because she loved it so much.

(Althought the titles differ, I believe this is the same as Sleepy Time Songs and Stories.)

We watch this about once a week (too often and we all get bored, no?) and every time it calms my 2 year-old who then goes to sleep quickly and soundly. The songs are lovely and there is a delightful story about how the sun and the moon came to live in the sky which is narrated by Ozzie Davis. The last song is a drift-y, dreamy sequence with balloons - a nice ending.

This does not have the usual frenetic Sesame Street pace/quality but is rather sweet and very relaxing. Bert, Ernie, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, etc. (no Elmo). Excellent!

We mix this goodnight video up with Kipper, Little People, Goodnight Moon and Maisy. Sweet dreams!

My son likes this video; however, it does not help him go to sleep as of yet. Possibly its because he has a multitude of Sesame Street videos and there are parts that are re-used from different videos he already has. He is starting to get a little bored and needs some entirely new material.
