Sesame Street - Learning About Numbers

Buy This Item Sesame Street - Learning About Numbers by Sony  Available from Amazon  $9.98  on 11-16-2008     How many ways can you count from 1 to 20? The folks at <I>Sesame Street</I> know them all and run through them several times in this delightful, funny, and educational half-hour video. Big Bird and Count Onetwothree are the hosts of this takeoff on "The Tonight Show," in which Big Bird (as our Johnny Carson stand-in) introduces numbers and the <I>Sesame Street</I> folks act them out. <I>Learning About Numbers</I> is a mixture of original material and skits and songs from <I>Sesame Street</I>. A personal favorite: Kermit the frog as a passenger on an elevator operated by the Count, who keeps passing Kermit's floor because he loves counting the numbers so much. <I>--Marshall Fine</I> Reader Reviews Our two-and-a-half year old didn't like "learning about numbers" at all, except for one little sequence that show 2 girls playing with a dollhouse. he much preferred "1 2 3 count with me." the two dvds are actually quite different: the other one features elmo and ernie and feels very much geared toward young children while "learning about numbers" actually seems like they were trying to entertain children and adults at the same time by adopting a mock talk show format where big bird is supposed to be some kind of jay leno standup. plus there is a lot of "The Count" in that LAN, and our toddler didn't like him at all--a kind of dracula knockoff that struck him as kind of distasteful and even scary. "1 2 3 Count With Me" a much better choice, for us at least, and possibly for all 2 year olds. Could be "learning about numbers" is better tolerated by older children. Only weakness to "1 2 3 count with me" is that they give short shrift or even skip over certain numbers between 1-20. Some kind of brainless editing decision by somebody who didn't get enought sleep, no doubt. but our child much preferred it to "learning about numbers"
