It also has some priceless vintage footage I remember when I watched Sesame St. 5 Stars! Especially when compared to the new Sesame St. The new productions of Sesame St. are horrible! Long, complex, conveluted scripts that do nothing to promote learning. Yes, 5 star video, but unfortunately, they lose 4 stars for forcing us to watch a commercial for the Childrens Television Workshop at the start of the video. There's no way to skip it, fast-foward or go to Menus... All commands are blocked until the commercial runs its course. OK, I'm sure it's a worthy cause, but I purchased the rights to this video, so I should not be forced to watch their ad. I've had to sit through it countless times! I get it! Now let me have the ability to skip it if I want!!! BTW, same issue with "Learning About Numbers" Rating: 1 / 5 My 3 year old loves this video. It’s entertaining and very clever.

If you want great letter vidoes choose Leap Frog- Letter Factory, Sesame Street- Do the Alphabet, & Sesame Street- The Alphabet Jungle Game Rating: 3 / 5 There was no thought at all put into the video.

Also, it is a bit tiring for a toddler to sit through this video with the whole alphabet being introduced at once. Rating: 3 / 5 The quality of the tape itself could be better.

She picked it out at the store. We could not wait to get home to watch it. It did not even keep her attention for 3 minutes. It has no energy compared to the other Sesame Street/Elmo dvds she has. I watched it with her and found it extremely boring. I could not even make her sit through it that is how bad it was. My husband came home and watched it for himself and he agreed. I would highly encourage people not to buy this one. Rating: 1 / 5 I bought this dvd for my daughter when she was 14 months old. She picked it out at the store.
