Big Bird and Telly Monster lead young viewers through the alphabet, letter by letter, in a magical and imaginative half-hour discovery of letters and their sounds. The perfect tape for young Sesame Street fans who are just beginning to get the hang of what letters are all about, it includes short skits, songs, and other bits of business--some original, some culled from the Sesame Street show--featuring a variety of Muppet characters as well as the human residents of that famously educational thoroughfare. --Marshall Fine

My son loves this classic.......2007-05-23

He just can't stop watching... and singing "C is for cookie thats good enough for me, C is for Cookie thats good enough for me, C is for cookie thats good enough for me, Cookie - Cookie - Cookie starts with C".

The classic Sesame Street characters you know an love. And catchy songs too. Oh and it is educational.

Learning can be fun and easy.......2007-05-12

My granddaughter who is 22 months old recognized Big Bird (aka: big bo) on the dvd case immediately and could not wait to have it played. She interacts with the Sesame Street characters as she watches, and is always wanting to practice her ABC's with her parents and grandparents. This is from the earlier (1960's)Sesame Street productions, and I feel that it is even better than the newer dvds that are being produced. I feel its so important that children start early to appreciate that learning can be fun, and this dvd is a good tool in the learning process. My granddaughter gives it a big thumbs up (she hugs the dvd case, instead of actually doing a thumbs up...but it means the same). Great educational tool that is fun too.

Learning about letters...the old school way! .......2007-04-15

This video is chock full of "Old School" Sesame Street favorites to teach the alphabet including, Lena Horne singing with Fat Blue and some other Anything Muppets, the live action film where we find letters in everyday signs, and of course, "C is for Cookie." This video is copyrighted 1986, long, long before Elmo took over Sesame Street. Elmo doesn't appear anywhere in this video. Instead we see Telly, Big Bird, and Buster the Horse taking us through the alphabet. It all concludes by Luis reading a story called "King Peter the Persnickity." I absolutely loved it. Highly recommended for anyone with small children.

A favorite.......2007-02-17

I bought this for my son who was learning his letters from his books. He really enjoys it, shouting out the letters when he sees them on the screen. His favorite things are the clip where they go all over the city and find all the letters and the clip of the kind of Renaissance fair alphabet which he sings along with. I wish they would release more of the old sesame street videos to DVD.

Great Video - just wish it were a DVD!.......2007-01-28
