Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording

This collection of songs from everybody's favorite little red monster will surely tickle the kids in your family. Elmo solos include the rockin' "Off to School," "Elmo's Rap Alphabet," and the sweet, inspiring "Just One Person." He gets a little help from his friends for the Joe Raposo classic "Sing," and Big Bird and Snuffleupagus join in for "Elmo's Song." Once you get used to hearing Elmo's tiny, preschoolerish voice, this charming album will have you and your kids "Be Doodle Dee Dum"-ing right along with it. --Deborah Moore

5.0 out of 5 stars If only they made Elmo Sings Bob Dylan and The Beatles Tunes, September 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sesame Street: The Best of Elmo (Audio CD)

My 20 month old wants to listen to this album exclusively. If we put on other CDs or tapes, even other Sesame Street music with other voices singing, she says "Elmo. Elmo. Elmo" until that wonderful, high-pitched voice comes through the speaker. It really is quite funny to hear Elmo singing everything. I've heard this CD a few hundred too many times. We need a new Elmo compilation. A definite favorite of our daughter's and her Elmo-loving friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for traveling in the car and at bedtime!, August 5, 2000

This review is from: Sesame Street: The Best of Elmo (Audio CD)

I bought this cd for my 22 month old daughter because she watches Elmo on tv and gets very excited when she sees him. This is by far the best money I have spent on her! I first played this cd in the car, while on my way to a doctors appointment with her. While I was stressed out because of traffic, she was in her car seat dancing, moving and singing to the music! I also play this cd for her at bedtime and naptime and it is the perfect thing for her to listen to as she winds down from a busy day! I plan on buying the entire Sesame Street/Elmo collection for her!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun songs to listen to or sing a long to!, December 17, 1998

By	"slbotero" (St. Petersburg, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sesame Street: The Best of Elmo (Audio CD)

This CD is filled entirely with songs sung by Elmo and some of his pals from Sesame Street. Most of the songs are lively. My 16 month old daughter loves all the songs and gets so excited everytime I put in the CD. Her favorite songs are "Elmo's Song" and "Happy Tapping with Elmo". The lyrics are cleverly written so that even adults are entertained by the songs. The tunes are catchy enough that you may find yourself tapping your feet to the beat. I highly recommend this to anyone who has a child that watches Sesame Street!
