Product Description:
Movie DVD
Amazon.com:
The Muppets are putting on a play on words (get it?), a convenient framing device for a Sesame Street-style reading lesson. Get ready for some sticky, slippery fun when Prairie Dawn directs the G-rated vaudevillian act, complete with Bert and Ernie in straw hats telling corny jokes and a pie-throwing machine in fine working order. There are behind-the-scenes prop emergencies and a finale no-show, prompting rhyming lessons ("Oh, no, Hoho is a no-show!") and plenty of TV clips, including "I Am Chicken," the fowl take on the feminist anthem "I Am Woman." Elmo joins singing partners Mo and Flo in the stirring (substitute) finale, "We Got the Need to Read." Kindergarteners who think they're too old for Sesame Street might still get drawn in by challenges aimed at beginning readers. Ages 2 to 6. --Kimberly Heinrichs

- The Best Sesame Street Video Yet!
I rented this video week after week, from the Library, until I finally broke down to buy it.This is my 15 mo. old daughter's favorite! She loves Elmo, but prefers this video over the "Elmo video series". Plus she also likes Bert, Ernie, Zoe and Prairie Dawn, which makes it a bonus because they ALL play a big part here. She's got over 20 Sesame Street videos, but watches this one everyday. B&E's Word Play has a great theme,begining, middle and ending and flows easily from one scene to another, ... Read More

- Workin' the words
This is fairly good for a child just introduced to phonics and letter blending. It uses the blended letter sounds, as well as taking away a letter and adding a different letter in order to make a new word. We have only watched it once thus far; so, my review is not the greatest, sorry. BTW - I loved Sesame Street as a child and now my 5-year-old loves it also:-)
Rating: - There is this ONE monster...
My 20 mth. old LOVES this whole video - but there is this segment where these 3 bald muppets, and this one awesome hairy muppet do a song... "cat,fat,hat,mat!!"I don't think I've EVER heard my son laugh so hard!!We replay it for him like 4 times in a row before we continue on.As all the Sesame products, this one is well done and has its special wonderful memorable moments.I like it too!
Rating: - Lots of fun and entertainment for my little one
We own quite a few DVDs, my son loves this one and the Elmo 123 count with me. Both are truly fantastic. He can watch it every day and he laughs even, he is only 9 months.

- don't bother
This DVD is often amusing, but completely unsuitable for children learning to read. Words are all but incomprehensible in many of the songs, and some charaters don't articulate the words as well as you would expect (don't get me started on Elmo). It's also too long.
