Sesame Street: Sing, Hoot & Howl with the Sesame Street Animals

100 viewings and still fun for us all.
Sing Hoot and Howl is a delightful collection of classic and new Sesame Street animal songs. There is a wide variety of musical styles including latin and early rock that captivated our seven month old from the first viewing. Now, he starts dancing at the mere mention of songs on this video. The best bit is that we love this video still after months of seeing it almost every day.

The songs include "Cow Dog Song" about a cattle dog, Baa Baa Bamba which is a variation of La Bamba, "Kids" which shows all sorts of animal babies and "Cluck around the Clock".

We like this video so much that we are thinking of giving it to all our under five friends.

This is my toddler's favorite video
My son has been watching this video since he was around 6 months old, and still loves it (he's now 15 months old). He watches it almost every day, and never seems to get tired of it. As soon as we put it in, and Old MacDonald comes on, he starts bouncing up and down and making excited noises. The songs are very catchy, the length is perfect (30 minutes, just enough time to make dinner), and it's educational. My son is learning all about the different sounds that animals make. Somehow, our tape got ruined, so we are buying a new one. We can't live without it!

Not our favorite Sesame Street video
Okay, usually I rate the S.S. videos high, but we bought this video last week and my daughter has watched it only a handful of times. Hosted by Big Bird and a barn full of animals, there are several songs that you will know. "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and "We are all Earthlings" are two that we knew right away. Some of the clips are really old and didn't hold my daughter's attention (or mine, for that matter). She walks out of the room five minutes after this video comes on...every time! I can't say that I think much of it either, as I usually pray for this video to be over with. A better choice would be one of the Elmo's world videos, Sing Along, or Let's Make Music.
