While it's true that Elmo's World is one that most 2- to 5-year-olds wouldn't mind waking up to any day of the week, Birthdays, Games & More makes plain that, as far as preschool meccas go, this is as good as it gets. Here, the furry little red guy gets the festivities under way watching real, live kid friends festoon pretty packages with colorful bows (his way of answering the endlessly curious Dorothy's question about how to wrap a present) before tuning into the Birthday Channel for a whirlwind trip to Mexico, where ebullient kids whack away at a piñata, and Israel, where a dizzy gang dips to the ground, doing its best to put on hats sans hands. After a chat with a talking birthday cake, it's game time. A chubby baby gets his toes tweaked in a round of "This Little Piggy"; Ernie and his ducky stop by via e-mail to demonstrate hide-and-go-squeak; and a couple of kids crack Elmo up with their search for Thumbkin, first in English, then in Spanish. The games give way, in a third segment, to a pack of pets. Mr. Noodle the lovable numbskull tries to play fetch with a fish; Elmo's tricky drawer trots out a parade of lettuce, a tiger, and a Telly monster, hoping for some help with the question "What can be a pet and what can't?"; and friend Alisa shows off Fluffy, her cat, and dog Spike. Taken together, Birthdays, Games & More is 60 minutes of playful, furry fun destined to be dusted off for repeat watchings by all wannabe Elmo's World inhabitants. --Tammy La Gorce

What kid doesn't love Elmo?.......2006-08-14

Of course my son loves this video!! He LOVES Elmo. My only complaint is that he gets upset after watching it because it's not his birthday, so I don't have cake with candles to offer him.

My 2 year old son loves Elmo's World!.......2005-02-14

I think some of these parents that wrote these previous reviews need to lighten up! Disappointed because a Elmo video did not give you any good ideas on planning a birthday party??? (Did you also get the one on hair to see if you could get some ideas on a new hairstyle?) The bottom line is Elmo is adorable and my son LOVES these videos and wants to watch them again and again. ...and he is learning about all kinds of things throughout the series. YES! it is the same Elmo's World that we have all seen on Sesame St., that is why it is titled "Elmo's World"!! Why are you even surprised? I recommend these videos for TODDLERS highly. Someone mentioned that they find Mr. Noodle annoying. He is trying to entertain your child, not you! ... as Elmo would say "silly parent!"

Good, but a copy from the tv show........2004-02-26

This is a very cute video but don't buy it thinking that you're getting something new. This video is comprised of three segments from the show, pets, birthday parties and something else. It's cute and very nicely done, but when you've seen it rerun many times on television before, it gets a little boring for a toddler.

Elmo's World anytime you want.......2003-04-02

I bought this video hoping it would inspire me with some ideas for my child's birthday party. It didn't help me for that but it is a cute video and my 21 month old likes it. It is 3 Elmo World segments from the Sesame Street tv show (birthdays, games & pets). It is not a separately made movie just copies from the show.

My daughters favorite one!.......2003-02-28

This video is by far my daughter's favorite Elmo video...I am not sure why - but the birthday segment really taught her how to blow out the candles on her birthday cake and the segment with Mr. Noodle wrapping a present had her wrapping everything in sight .."Tape, Mama, TAPE!"...she also learned how to play Simon Says from this video and Tag.....she loves the part where the kids play.....
I think it is a good video as any from the Elmo series....
