Flowers, Bananas & More--so titled, presumably, because Flowers, Bananas & Hair sounds kind of yucky--culls everybody's favorite 3-year-old monster's investigations of those things in a 50-minute tape. The Flowers episode cuts away from Elmo's crayon-filled playroom to follow a real, live boy in his quest to grow a plant. Through Elmo's lively voiceover, we learn that by filling a glass with a paper towel, a bean, and some water you can grow a bean pod, which is just what Elmo does, along with interviewing a friendly cactus and showing us a homemade video of Stinky the Plant, back in his world. In Bananas Mr. Noodle's usual bumbling with the object in question (Is it a telephone? A horn? A pen?) is a barrel of laughs, and we meet Top Banana, a spectacles- and bow tie-clad chap who brings his breed's health benefits to light. Hair, the final segment, is especially enlightening because every manner of the curious stuff shows up for a brief but thoughtful examination. By tuning us in to the Hair Channel, which is featuring a cartoon called "The Kingdom Where Everybody Wore His Hair the Same Way," Elmo leads us to the truth about hair: kinky or straight, short or long, everybody's got it, and what a person chooses to do with it doesn't count for much. Though it's bound to be a repeat for most kids, this is a tape that'll grow on budding botanists, stylists, and Elmo groupies in general. (Ages 3 to 7.) --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews

A super- funny romp with Elmo!
I bought this video almost a year ago and my daughter still watches it once a day. It is cute (we love the parts with Mr. Noodle, because he is so funny) and educational in it's own silly way. I do have to have bananas on hand when she's watching this video though, because as soon as the banana part comes on, she wants one (and she knows how to peel it now, thanks to this video). A must-have for Elmo fans (as are all the Elmo's World videos) this one is played in our house often.

ELMO'S WORLD!
After seeing these episodes of "Elmo's World" on Sesame Street numerous times....I knew that I had to purchase this tape. It is amazing how my son will drop everything he is doing just to see Elmo. I love how the writers of the "Elmo's World" series use Elmo to teach children my son's age (2 yrs) how to share, about babies & fruit. I recommend Elmo & the rest of the Sesame Street Collection to all parents with young children. I also recommend "Elmo's Adventures in Grouchland".

so cute
okay, I am a 100% Disney lover and fan. But I thought I give this a try. My daughter, now 23months, loves Elmo and I thought this would be a nice one to try out. It is so cute and really fun to watch. The segments are brief,fun and loaded with information and humor. WELL DONE. If you like the muppets, you find yourself smiling and giggling at these segments,jokes and puppets. The child will love it as well.;-)
Elmo is a great master of ceremony in all his DVD's. I am very impressed and can recommend it. I need to mention the first one I bought was drawing and singing and it does encourage your child to try it yourself. That is actually the magic about all those tapes. The interest and curiosity is being awoken through them. Yes as a parent we do a great job already but isn't it fun to learn with a little friend like Elmo?
I can recommend these Elmo's world DVD's.
