Elmo's World Dancing Music Books :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
Everyone's favorite preschool monster demonstrates three activities in this compilation of some popular "Elmo's World" segments from Sesame Street. Joining him are segment regulars Dorothy the pet goldfish and Mr. Noodle, the lovable, bumbling adult stand-in for children, who makes mistakes but perseveres until he gets it right. In each episode, real children also take turns mastering the skill. In "Dancing," Elmo shows off his finesse at the flamenco and hula, while the children choose more free-form moves. (Elmo's monster friend Zoe also makes a cameo appearance.) In "Books," a boy and his father visit the library in search of dinosaur books. And in "Music," kids play the flute and violin, while Mr. Noodle is a little slow in learning to bang the drum. For parents who meant to tape the "Elmo's World" segments, but never quite did it, this 45-minute video is a lucky break. Primarily for ages 2-5, but Elmo fans of all ages will enjoy it. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Daughter loved it!!

2008-08-08
Anything Elmo, and she is hooked. Well at least that's how it was for a LONG time. She's 3 now and little miss grown, but she really did get into all of the Elmo's World DVD's for a while. They kept her occupied, taught her a TON, and weren't all that annoying, as far as kids movies go.

Some clips duplicated

This is another great video, but we have an Elmo video titled "Things That Make Elmo Happy" or something like that, and the dancing or music is duplicated in that, which was kind of disappointing, but the video is still great.

My daughter loves it!

My daughter is 2 and loves Elmo. She only wants to watch this movie...over and over and over...The first thing she askes for in the morining is to "watch Elmo!" We actually have to limit her time watching it! I like it because it teaches her a lot about music, dancing, counting, and books.

Fun w/catchy tunes and skits

Elmo - Dancing Music Books

2006-10-06
My daughter enjoys this DVD but it doesn't hold her attention for very long.

The Best Kids' DVD Ever

2006-01-25
This is a great one! The Mr Noodle dances alone, if you stop to watch them, are simply amazing. I also love the little Elmo in costume vignettes like Elmo as a Spanish dancer or as all the members of a ragtime band. This DVD has a good length compared to other kid's DVDs we've bought too. While watching Sesame Street my daughter's attention goes in and out depending on what is happening, but with this disc she gives 45 minutes of total absorption. My only complaint is that you have to watch about 2 minutes of ads for other sesame street releases before you get to the program, very contrary to the educational TV ethos in my opinion.

Elmo scores again

2005-07-19
As usual, another hit from Sesame Workshop. Educational and fun. My only complaint with all of their stuff is they pack in way too much content geared solely toward adults. Like the 'famous' personalities. Sorry - but my toddler isn't going to know who Rosie O'Donnell or The Fujis are (examples from various SW videos we've purchased). 5 stars minus 1 for wasting time/money on things that won't matter for a child.

ELMO to the rescue

I had recieved this video as a gift some time ago. I had played it for my son at that time, he was 6 months old. He didn't care for TV or videos much at that point. Now at 15 months old on a whim I played it for him. He loves it soooo much this is the ONLY video he will watch. We have the Baby Einstein collection and while as a baby he did enjoy watching those now he could care less about them. He is a very active toddler. His favorite thing to do is run around and climb stairs. He will not sit still for even a few minutes. I can count on this video to entertain him while I finish cooking or cleaning. No other toys or videos have given me this opportunity.
