[.ca] Sesame Street - Fiesta! Sing Along in Spanish and English



From Amazon.com:
Fiesta means party in Spanish, and Sesame Street is pulsating with activity in this upbeat preschool program featuring Latino songs. Jim Henson's Muppets join the fun while everyone's favorite, Elmo, learns the Conga- Wiggle dance. Maria, Rosita, and Gabi create floats and costumes; even Oscar reluctantly partakes in the festivities. The dialogue is sparse in order to devote most of the 30-minute show to singing and dancing during eight Spanish/English tunes, featuring special performances by Linda Ronstadt and Celia Cruz. Most of the music will be familiar, such as "Conga Counting Song," "Amigo," and "It Sure Is Hot." Kids will also learn greetings, familiar words, and numbers in Spanish. While some might wish for the addition of live-action scenes of Mexico or a more complex story line, the bilingual focus is solid and the ever supportive cast of Sesame Street grownups, kids, and Muppets make it a neighborhood worth visiting. --Lynn Gibson


Great video!:
Very fun -- my kids love it! They picked up a few words and phrases -- but more importantly, they are becoming familiar with the sounds which will help them when they start their formal education. I also highly recommend the Global Village Kids' SING AND LEARN CD -- these are bilingual nursery rhymes in Spanish and English which are fun for kids and help them pick up words and phrases in Spanish.


Great Video... especially Celia Cruz singing the numbers...:
I bought this for my niece who is 20 months old. She loves it. And I think its pretty cute. She runs to the tv and asks for it and when its over she asks for it again. We are a bilingual family, she says words in both spanish and english already. My family is Cuban and listening to Celia Cruz sing the numbers song with latin rhythm is really funny. You won't be disappointed if you buy this.


Catchy Tunes:
This is my one year old son's favorite video. Neither one of us has gotten tired of it yet - how many of your kid videos can you say that about? Actually, even I think the tunes are quite catchy and have found myself humming them to keep my son occupied on car trips, etc. While I do acknowledge that the format is primarily English, even a little Spanish is better than none at all.


Absolutely wonderful:
My son is two and a half and he LOVES this video. We received it almost a month ago and have been watching it everyday. I don't understand why it doesn't come in the DVD format. If you have a kid with lots of energy, this is a must have.


A great library addition:
Thank goodness DVD's can be played over and over. This movie saved me from going "batty" on car ride to Florida. My little guy loves this DVD and quite frankly, so do mommy and daddy.
