[.ca] Sesame Street: Elmos World: Great Outdoors!

Best Elmo'sWorld Video Out There!:
We have a collection of Elmo videos, as our son loves him. The Great Outdoors is by far the best! It features wild animals, the farm, and weather, and is catchy and upbeat. Definitely a winner!

loses my 16 month old daughter's interest in the first 3 minutes. Would not recommend.

Preschoolers know what THEY like!:
To contrast the other less-than-favorable reviews, I had to add my "thumbs up" rating for this superbly educational tape from the Sesame Street folk. Long being an admirer of the cute Muppet known as "Elmo", I couldn't wait to watch this one with my four-year-old niece and her two-year-old brother. Both kids are totally captivated by Elmo's informative and entertaining "lessons" on animals in the wild. Elmo is definitely a kid favorite. The creators of this lovable character realize that his wide-eyed enthusiasm and infectious laugh are the perfect blend to tap into the innocence and curiosity of children. The late Michael Jeter is also on hand as the childlike "Mr. Noodles" who also knows a thing or two about engaging little minds. All children are different and while a few may be "frightened" by the big bad wolf, I can assure you that my two young relatives found nothing terrifying at all in this wonderful tape.

My least favorite....:
My kids really love Elmo and his DVD's, but this one is a little scarey. Some of the animals, and even some of the stormy weather scenes are a little intense for sensitive viewers. There are definitely better Elmo DVD"s out there.

Fun for kids and adults:
Our 18 month old loves this DVD. He is not scared at the section with the big bad wolf at all - maybe because he is too young for the Little Red Riding Hood stories. We have several Elmo DVD's and this one is much easier on our ears than some of the others. I have to admit that the "wiggle" song is actually quite catchy - don't be surprised if you catch yourself singing it!
