Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

When Baby Bear must learn his alphabet in one day, Big Bird patiently takes him under his wing in Do the Alphabet. Only "The Method," (a hilarious combination of dance, song, visualization, and group therapy) can help Baby Bear on such short notice. The result is 40 minutes of ABC's Sesame Street style, where vibrant educational cartoons, enthusiastic kids, famous guest stars (here, Billy Joel), and harmonizing Muppets make lasting educational impressions. Children age 2 to 6 will enjoy the upbeat musical numbers dedicated to various letters; a favorite segment features the Boogie Woogie Piggies and their flashy rendition of the alphabet song. Throughout the well-paced show, Big Bird offers just the right blend of coaching and friendship, much like the ace support group leader he's mildly spoofing. Hats off to Sesame Street for helping Baby Bear--and his viewing audience--understand that learning takes time, patience, and a team effort. --Liane Thomas

Buy Richard Scarry ABC instead (2004-06-24)

The problems with this DVD are that it doesn't effectively teach the alphabet and it is pretty annoying. A fair chunk of it is Baby Bear complaining with a whiny lisp, and Big Bird patronising him. Big Bird even runs an "alphabet support group" (like psychotherapy) which I think is a really unsuitable concept for young children. But worse than that, the letters are not taught in a systematic, complete way - only selected letters are featured prominently.For an alphabet DVD I would recommend Richard Scarry ABC or Learning Songs instead of this one.

Not the best (2004-05-17)

I had bought "Learning About Letters" when my oldest son was about 2, which is excellent and will be out on DVD soon. This DVD is not nearly as good - not as much to help learn. The storyline is weak, and there is nbot much emphasis on the letters themselves. Most of it is about Baby Bear's frustration in trying to say the alphabet. My 2 younger boys (4 and 2) have not been very interested in this one.

Get "Learning About Letters" instead, which does the entire alphabet several times and highlights letters instead of Baby Bear trying to say the alphabet.

GREAT AND EDUCATIONAL (2004-04-17)

My son loves this DVD. It was one of his first Sesame Street DVD's and is still one of his favorites. It is very educational in learning the alphabet. The only thing that I didn't like was the way Baby Bear pronounces his words (although my son doesn't mind one bit). Other than that I would defenitely recommed this to your library for your young ones.

Excellent for learning the alphabet! (2004-04-06)

I started my son watching this video when he was about 18 mos old. I would put it on when I was making dinner to keep him occupied and out of the kitchen. It helped him learn the alphabet. He loved it and will still watch it even now at age 4.

My daughter loves it! (2004-03-29)

We all love Sesame Street, but I highly recommend this dvd. You know how the kids mostly like the singing part of the video, well on this dvd you can chose just to play the songs and eliminate the talking. My daughter doesn't move for at least 30 minutes. She also loves 25th Sesame Street Celebration, and Count with me 123.
