When you hear this creative collection of alliterative alphabet anthems, you'll be amazed at the various verses and clever choruses. Whether it's the classic "'C' Is for Cookie" or "MMM Monster Meal," young kids will get a kick out of the frivolous fun while learning language set to song. Along with the lyrical letter tunes, there's a "What's My Letter?" skit with Prairie Dawn and Guy Smiley and a fantastic fable, "The Tale of Tom Tattertall Tuttletut," featuring Herbert Birdsfoot and the Anything People. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more alluring alphabet album anywhere. --Deborah Moore

great music for kids:
I originally had this on cassette tape and by my 5th kid, it had worn out from use. He was sooo disappointed, I had to find the CD. All my kids have enjoyed it and know many of the alphabet songs by heart.
Part of my family for two generations now!:
I am now 32, and I listened to this as a kid (repeatedly). We lived in a pretty isolated area and had no TV, etc. This (record back then) was my best friend. I still know every word by heart, and in retrospect, I believe it helped me to do really well with reading and writing throughout my school years. (They have added a new cover and a song sung by Elmo at the beginning). I think it helps kids learn to really like/develop a relationship with letters. Maybe that is going too far, but it is fun anyway and... more info
A few good songs, but not enough:
The platinum CD is a much better purchase. There are only a few good songs on this CD, and not some of the better ones that are alaphet related on Sesame Steet.
All Time Classic!:
I grew up with these songs and am delighted to now be able to share them now with my two year old little boy! The CD covers the entire alphabet with easy to remember and upbeat songs about each letter. We have also given this CD as a birthday present for his two little girl cousins and it was loved by them as well. If your child loves Sesame Street this CD is a must! It's one of my son's CD's that I don't mind listening to over and over. I would highly recommend it!
