Customer Reviews

kosher sesame street!
i have only one of these episodes so far (the box set is on my wishlist, i have the passover edition) but it was great. sesame street has shows all over the world, each set to it's own culture and language, and they are outstanding.
if you are jewish with young children, this will be a very good way to help them learn about their culture and to help explain the holidays in a way they can understand. highly recomended!

Oldie but goodie
Good, but not great- held the interest of a classroom full of kids for one or two episodes, but some are a bit dated. All in all, I'd say buy it- but if they came out with a newer one, go with that.

We love it but the video isn't Sesame Street's Highest Quality
We love the video and my sons are both enjoying the music but it doesn't have the highest quality of effects. We bought the entire collection. I would recommend the video to anyone but I wish Sesame Street would do a better job like they did with the Plaza Sesamo and Sesame Street US.
