Video Description
From KIDS FIRST!: Bedtime has never been so much fun as it is when Elmo and Sesame Street help tuck you in. Remaining true to the Sesame Street style, this is a short, sweet, effective film that deals with common issues around bedtime. It is time for Elmo and many other monsters to go to sleep, but everyone seems to be having a hard time. With the help of songs, caring people, and colorful animations, the monsters learn that everyone needs sleep. Timeless issues like being afraid of the dark, not wanting to sleep, and having scary thoughts are addressed, with practical strategies for parents. The film also provides convincing strategies for children, and encourages children to help each other fall asleep in situations such as sleepovers. The film promotes using imagination and looking forward to dreaming and the energy acquired for playing the next day as incentives for going to sleep. In classic Sesame Street style, to maintain attention, Bedtime with Elmo interjects Elmo’s story with many other short episodes involving bedtime, including children from around the world going to sleep, Bert and Ernie dreaming, and even a poem about the moon in American Sign Language. Bedtime with Elmo is a focused and successful Sesame Street special that provides useful tools for parents and children around a common childhood issue. 45 min.; Ages 2-5.

Bedtime with Elmo dvd
Cute movie until the 3rd "story", which was a little too scary for my 2-3/4 year old granddaughter. The characters started talking about being scared of monsters and the dark.....time to turn it off! said my granddaughter.
May be better for 4 and 5 year olds.

Only if your child already has fears.
We bought this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter who just got a big girl bed and was having trouble falling asleep. She could not express why, so we thought this video might help her articulate her feelings. It made everything worse. Now she is afraid of monsters in her room and everywhere else in the house.

I think if your child is already afraid of things in the dark it is GREAT, but if your child has no ideas about monsters, or total darkness fears you should not purchase it.

Not for toddlers under 2
My 15 month old loves Elmo. This DVD however had too much talking and conversation and he was quickly bored. He didn't seem too fond of Elmo's daddy either. His appearance should have been as friendly as Elmo only bigger and with glasses maybe. Those eyebrows and unfriendly voice kept my son very far from the TV set! lol
