Description of Sesame Street - Kids' Favorite Songs 2:
Somewhere into the so-so "Itsy Bitsy Spider" segment, the sinking feeling that Kids' Favorite Songs 2 is strictly sequel material sets in. This is a march down Sesame Street on a slow day, when the loopy monster misunderstandings and goofball gags miss a rare beat or two. Still, making merry is what the Sesame crew does best, and they succeed here, if on a less brilliant level than we've come to expect. All the usual favorites, like "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "The Ants Go Marching," get the gang and their real-life kid friends grooving, and a running joke involving a renegade meatball keeps kids 18 months to 5 tuned in to the end. Elmo hosts. --Tammy La Gorce

Wonderful...kept my baby watching, like a babysitter 
2009-10-23 - It exciting to see our 17 mo old has so much interest in this Elmo video. I could walk away and pick up a few things around the house to find him in his same spot just smiling and staring at the tv. It has so many kids singing, and we all know that kids have some interest in seeing other kids, that he loved it. You know as well as I do, that if something will keep your baby still so you can clean the house and he/she is not getting into stuff...then this is a MUST BUY. My DVD cracked so I was desperate to buy another one...THANK GOODNESS FOR AMAZON.COM, I would be so lost without this video.
Great songs!
2009-09-27 - I almost did not purchase this video due to some bad reviews but I am so glad that I did! "Kids favorite songs" was a big hit with my 18 month old so I was so glad to see there was a second one. The 45 min run time opposed to the first one @ 30 min was a big plus. We love the variety of songs, they are classics and very up beat. My little one claps and stomps along every time. Where others did not enjoy the children interviews, we liked it and do not mind the kids singing. This video has become a favorite in our house and always has us singing along!
Its Elmo - but it's just OK. 
2009-06-28 - It has Elmo in it, which is what my 11-month-old loves. But there is way too much talking and too many clips of "live" people. My son is glued to lots of Sesame Street and Elmo videos even at his young age - but he tends to lose interest in this one quickly.
My kid's favorite video
2009-06-17 - I'm not sure where these complaints of "too much talking" are coming from; this video is 90% singing. In my opinion, Kids' Favorite Songs 1 was much more guilty of that particular flaw than this one.
Anyway, my one-year-old LOVES music, and this has been the only video so far that he will sit through all the way. Considering his minuscule attention span and the 45-minute running time of this DVD, that's a pretty big accomplishment. He's seen it about twenty times and his face still lights up when he hears the video starting up. He also laughs every time Snuffy chases his runaway meatball across the screen. (Um, you'll understand when you see it...)
From my own viewpoint as a parent, even considering that I can be somewhat kids' music averse, I definitely can't complain that this is my son's favorite. Sure, the songs do tend to get stuck in your head (God help me if I start singing Elmo's Song at work again), but it's not particularly annoying as these things sometimes are. The selection of songs is great -- fun, with a combination of humorous and classic tunes, most of which I remember from my own childhood. Some of the kids in the video are pretty cute and add more humor into the mix.
Recommended by me, and highly recommended by my kid.
