Sesame Street - Fiesta!

Starring:Sesame Street
Studio: Sony Wonder (Video)
Product Type: DVD

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

Sesame does it again!.......2007-06-15

My 2 kids, 5 and 1, love this DVD and are learning some spanish too. We practice what we learn and they are speaking some spanish at home. We also use the Brainy Baby DVD which I also recommend.

An enjoyable bilingual program.......2007-02-21

This bilingual (Spanish-English) Sesame Street video is cheerful and well-produced. The educational information is clearly and effectively presented... and fun! Plus, with guest stars like Celia Cruz and Linda Ronstadt, this is a class act. Recommended.

Fiesta! Mucho Gusto!!.......2007-01-10

My 2 yr old watches Elmo whenever he can, and let me tell you, this is the best Elmo there is...especially after viewing it dozens and dozens of times. The skits are cute, the music has a nice latin beat and it teaches the kids some basic Spanish. It's fun listening to my boy sing the songs.
Plus, it's the only video/cd that we play that I don't go running from the room as soon as it starts.
Thumbs up for Fiesta!

A MUST Have!.......2007-01-07

It's entertaining for both you and your child. You'll find yourself singing the songs even when you are not watching it. I highly recommend this video to anyone who is interested in having their child learn a bit of Spanish.

Kinah's Mom.......2006-09-18

My three year old is taking a Spanish Dance and Language Program at her Pre-school on a weekly basis. I bought this video to enhance what she's learning in her spanish class. The words taught in spanish are: numbers from 1-10, Good Morning, Good Evening, Let's Go, Siesta, Fiesta, Amigo, and more. She LOVES to watch this video. We danced around the house to the Conga. Clapped our hands to the beat and repeated words in spanish. The video is a plus for helping preschoolers develop rhythm and pronounciation. Cultural diversity (acceptance and awareness) are important concepts for even preschoolers to acquire. I give this video a big thumbs up. As a sidebar, we have purchased several "Dora" products, but this video by far is much more fun!
