 Baby loves it and so does dad June 21, 2008
Elmo is very funny. Baby loves it and I have to say that Elmo character makes some comments and jokes that only an adult would understand. I find him very entertaining compared to Barney and Tellitubies. I would pick watching Elmo anyday over the other children DVDs.
 not a hit with the 25 month old May 6, 2008
Our 25 month old boy, normally an Elmo lover, just wasn't into this DVD.
The format is based on a game show. Each segment of the "show" requires Elmo and his friends to find 7 (I think) squares, or pentagons, or whatever shape that segment features, before a mouse climbs to the top of a clock and rings a bell. Elmo and chums meander about Sesame St. finding squares in Cookie Monster's cookie box, Bob's button, etc. Periodically, we watch the mouse struggling to reach the top of the clock. Sounds like a great premise. However, for our guy, it flopped.
The announcer is frenetic. There's a lot of repetitive counting ("How many squares have they found? One. Two. How many more do they need to find? One...two...three...four...five. Five more squares.") Our little guy demonstrated almost complete indifference to the entire DVD. And he's an Elmo fan, too!
He vastly preferred Blue's Clues-Blues Room - Shape Detectives (Note: there is an extremely annoying 10 minutes of preview, which frustrate even him because they don't continue into shows.).
His taste's are his own. From other reviews of this product, it's evident that other kids of his approximate age enjoyed it. For us, it was a poor investment. However, we learned more about his preferred style.
 Daughter likes it but not her favorite February 8, 2008
I purchased this for my 2 year old daughter to help her learn her colors and while she likes it (she likes EVERYTHING with Elmo), it isn't her favorite. If I had it to do over again, I probably would have skipped it. The program is a little strange in that it is a game-show format and they created the host to be just as annoying as they are in real life. Not so enjoyable to watch and I find my daughter just isn't into it. Maybe she will be later.
love it July 23, 2007
I love this dvd and so does my 22 month old son....he always comes to me and asks to put"shapes" on and then watches the whole thing
Great DVD for avid little learners! May 19, 2007
First, I must say that I hate to see negative reviews for this product! My son is almost 2 and absolutely loves this DVD. Before Grandma bought this, we had been reading a few books on shapes and my son was catching on pretty quickly. I think that this program is helping to reinforce his newly acquired knowledge--he is recognizing circles, squares, triangles and ovals in everyday objects like plates, tiles, etc.
I have to admit that the muppet gameshow host featured here is a little annoying, but so are the human ones at one time or another! I think that he adds to the fun of the show. Also parents, we need to remember that DVDs such as these are not really for our entertainment and try to watch through the eyes of our little sponges.
I recommend this to kids who are hungry to learn and have parents that are excited to help.
