This is a great dvd for the Cookie Monster fan! Lot's of catchy songs sung by Cookie himself will have your kids singing along! Cookie Monster starting his new job as a baker is hilarious! You won't go wrong buying this dvd! You don't see Cookie Monster enough anymore!

My son loves this video, and his little sister is getting into it as well! It is really wonderful, with the usual blend of really funny humor and education that you expect from Sesame Street! Cookie Monster is so funny,a nd the script is really clever and well-done. The songs are all just top-notch. I think this is a must-have for anyone with a kid, and for those of us who are just big kids too!!

If you are looking for a video that will hold your interest as well as your child's, this is it. My 15 month old daughter will watch this video start to finish, and she loves the music, which teaches children about letters and there is a valuable song here about sharing. My husband and I are entertained, too, by Cookie Monster's desperation after eating his cookbook! A winner.

Above is a quote from my two-year-old about his favorite Monster. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand the concept of the public library. However, even though we rented it over two months ago, he still asks for it whenever cookies come up in conversation.

This is a terrific video for little kids and grown-up kids alike. Unlike many Sesame Street videos, the introductory footage is better than many of the clips - the idea being that Cookie Monster has been turned loose in an empty bakery. He has to overcome a lot of obstacles in order to get to his ultimate goal - EATING THE COOKIES!!! I love the bit with the cookbook; it's a terrific performance by Frank Oz in what I think is his best - or at least MY favorite - muppet role.

I enjoy the clips as well - "C is for Cookie" (if that needs an explanation, you need more PBS in your home) "C drives me Crazy" (my son's favorite - a performance by the "Fine Young Camels" - hysterical!) "If Moon Were Cookie" (sort of a lukewarm Cookie version of "I Don't Want To Live On The Moon") "What Is Friend" (not very good rapport between the two monsters - I like the live-people version better), "They Can't Take That Away From Me" (Cookie and Guy Smiley explain subtraction and the number zero) and, my favorite "Goodbye Little Cookie" which has no educational value at all, but Garrison Keillor should feature it on his show the next time he does Cowboy Poetry, it's that good.

This one's a keeper. Now I just need to buy a copy!!

Of course, when you buy videos for your child, you know you'll have to watch them too. This video is funny! My son loves cookie monster so I figured this would be a good video. My favorite part is when cookie monster is baking cookies and opening the oven every 5 seconds saying "cookies done yet?, cookies not done yet." Just wish this tape was longer like the Elmo tapes. Elmo gets a lot of tv time, why not the other characters of Sesame Street?

Parents,
Hello. This is a great video tape for Cookie Monster fans.
My 8 year old boy loves Cookie Monster. This a great tape. The songs in this tape are C is For Cookie, C Drives Me Crazy, If Moon Were Cookie, What Is Friend, They Can't Take That Away From Me, and Goodbye Little Cookie. So get a little Cookie Monster In You.

When Cookie Monster comes into your home on this video, trust me -- he's coming in to stay. I bought this video for my son when he was 6 months old because I thought he might like the music and the bright colors. From the first time I turned it on, he's been, to say the least, fascinated with it. The kicker is, so am I. So is my husband. So is the babysitter. From beginning to end, it's absolutely enchanting. The script and song lyrics are, by turns, clever and corny, but always charming. And believe me, those songs stick in your head long after the tape has run out! From the time-honored anthem, "C Is for Cookie" to the last song on the tape, a sorrowful little country ballad in which Cookie Monster bids his cookie adieu before he eats it, we are transported to the magical world of the muppets, where lessons of friendship, sharing, problem-solving, and patience are all neatly hidden within silliness and fun. As Cookie struggles to bake cookies for the bakery he's working in, he gives us little pieces of cookie monster wisdom -- "If you bake it, they will come." My son is now 11 months old. I let him watch this video every night before bed. He claps and bounces the minute he sees me take the tape out of the box. He stares, transfixed as the FBI warning and the Sony Wonder logo go by, and I could swear he's holding his breath. And then, as Cookie Monster magically appears on the screen, he laughs out loud. For 45 minutes, that kid doesn't move, except to glance at me occasionally with a big smile on his face as if to say, "Isn't this great?!" I worried at first that at the time my child is learning to talk, he's also idolizing a monster who, I'm pretty sure, has never uttered a grammatically correct sentence in his little muppet life -- it's the only complaint I have about the whole thing. On the other hand, if you rely on television characters to teach your child how to talk, you've got bigger problems than a few badly-placed pronouns, right?

While this pales in comparison to "Big Bird Sings", there are some classics found here. Of course, "C Is for Cookie" is here, but that's on a lot of other SS videos as well. This is basically for the die-hard SS fan, or for those who just love the Cookie Monster. END
