Sesame Street - 123 Count With Me
: I bought this video at the same time as I bought "Do the Alphabet" and now my two-year old nephew won't watch it. He only asks for "Bic Birt" (Big Bird is on the box of "Alphabet"). I've tried sneaking it into the VCR when he isn't watching in hopes he'll get hooked, but he always asks plaintively for the other one. Personally, I think that they count a little fast for him while the "Alphabet" tape goes pretty slow. And Baby Bear is always a winner. I think though that he will appreciate when he gets a little older.
It is fun to watch and also educational to some extent. After watching this video several times, my 22 month old son learned how to count. It was surprisingly quick. But my son keeps following what benny does. He throws stuff to the floor, and yells loudly. I think benny is a nasty character.
I have 3 pre school children, the oldest 5 years old reads, and counts thanks to Sesame street, program and videos
There is so much to love about the SS approach to teaching children, but this video is a grave disappointment. Throughout the video this bunny with a rotten attitude screams at everyone for little to no reason. With small children imitating everything they see, this is harmful exposure for behaviour development. I also agree with the review about Elmo. I have a growing annoyance with listening to Elmo speak in the third person. Come on! Are you educational or not?
This video has some very cute counting songs - I'm a fan of "One Singular Sensation" and a real oldie but goodie, "Number 9 Cutie" - but I find the cranky bunny tedious and I wish he didn't yell "duh" at the other characters. In the beginning it's a little slow between songs but by the end the pace is good. I find it very annoying that Sesame Street puts advertising for its other videos at the start of the video - hard for kids to wait for you to fast-forward through.
