Editorial Reviews:
|
Big Bird and Telly Monster lead young viewers through the alphabet, letter by letter, in a magical and imaginative half-hour discovery of letters and their sounds. The perfect tape for young Sesame Street fans who are just beginning to get the hang of what letters are all about, it includes short skits, songs, and other bits of business--some original, some culled from the Sesame Street show--featuring a variety of Muppet characters as well as the human residents of that famously educational thoroughfare. --Marshall Fine

Customer Rating:
Summary: A Household Favorite
Comment: 'Learning About Letters', 'Learning About Numbers', and the '25th Anniversary Special' are the household favorites. This DVD was really well done. 'Learning About Numbers' is still my favorite. Maybe try both?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Learning tool
Comment: This is an entertaining DVD that has helped all my kids learn the alphabet. I highly recommend it!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Quality lacking
Comment: It's all the friends we know and love but the quality of certain scenes of this DVD are grainy and lacking. My 2 yr old doesn't mind of course. Don't expect much Elmo, mainly Big Bird and every other character.

Summary: Learning about letters
Comment: An oldie but a goodie, this Sesame Street ABC is very entertaining for my 3 year olds (a little less so for the 6 year old, but still a fave of his). C is for cookie is an all-time favourite clip. All the letters are covered in such a variety of creative ways it keeps kids interested. A classic.

Summary: It really taught my son the alphabet!
Comment: I personally like this video because it is nostalgic for me, I'm the same age as the show Sesame Street and I remember many of the muppet skits from when I was a preschooler. It is a compilation of various Sesame Street skits produced before Elmo's time.
This is my 21 month old son's favorite video and he has started recognizing and saying letters of the alphabet as a result of watching it. The video goes through identifying all the letters giving certain letters specific attention such as a song or a story. Also there's a part where the camera finds and zooms in on each letter of the alphabet A to Z on the streets of 1970's New York City, ie, on manhole covers, street signs, etc. while kids shout the letter name. Later on, the alphabet is run through again in a cartoon form with a voice singing the letters. This is my son's favorite part as he often sings along! There is plenty of repetition which kids need but it teaches in an entertaining way.
I wish there were more vintage Sesame Street videos like this because I get a kick out of going down memory lane. I would trade in annoying characters like Baby Bear to get Kermit the Frog back anyday!
