How many ways can you count from 1 to 20? The folks at Sesame Street know them all and run through them several times in this delightful, funny, and educational half-hour video. Big Bird and Count Onetwothree are the hosts of this takeoff on 'The Tonight Show,' in which Big Bird (as our Johnny Carson stand-in) introduces numbers and the Sesame Street folks act them out. Learning About Numbers is a mixture of original material and skits and songs from Sesame Street. A personal favorite: Kermit the frog as a passenger on an elevator operated by the Count, who keeps passing Kermit's floor because he loves counting the numbers so much. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - The Best of all Sesame Street
This DVD is the best of all Sesame Street DVDs. I love it from start to finish. My toddler really took off with her number abilities after watching this. Count has always been my favorite character.
Rating: - Wonderful return to classics
This is the rare release that isn't full of Elmo, or other screeching, hyper, idiocy, like so much of the current stuff. Instead it's gentle, but still plenty of fun. It also has the wit absent in most of the current Sesame Street productions, wit that made the old Sesame Street so very special. My nearly two year old loves it, and I don't mind watching it, either.
Rating:  - Liers!!........Amazon says both languages (spanish & english)
It is only in english.
Amazon, try not to do this again.
You better fix that info on the item page.
Rating: - our toddler much preferred "1 2 3 count with me"
Our two-and-a-half year old didn't like "learning about numbers" at all, except for one little sequence that show 2 girls playing with a dollhouse. he much preferred "1 2 3 count with me." the two dvds are actually quite different: the other one features elmo and ernie and feels very much geared toward young children while "learning about numbers" actually seems like they were trying to entertain children and adults at the same time by adopting a mock talk show format where big bird is supposed to be some kind of jay leno standup. plus there is a lot of "The Count" in that LAN, and our toddler didn't like him at all--a kind of dracula knockoff that struck him as kind of distasteful and even scary. "1 2 3 Count With Me" a much better choice, for us at least, and possibly for all 2 year olds. Could be "learning about numbers" is better tolerated by older children. Only weakness to "1 2 3 count with me" is that they give short shrift or even skip over certain numbers between 1-20. Some kind of brainless editing decision by somebody who didn't get enought sleep, no doubt. but our child much preferred it to "learning about numbers" Also: "learning about numbers" subjects you to a hyperactive commercial for some Sesame Street foundation at the beginning and doesn't let you bypass it!
Rating: - Old friends and gentle entertainment
I purchased this DVD for my young daughter because it included clips from the Sesame Street of my youth, and I was not disappointed. Several of the clips included in the video were familiar to me -- and all are a sweet, enjoyable way for small children to learn about counting. Characters that have largely disappeared from the TV screen come alive once again; if you loved Kermit the Frog or got a kick out of the Honkers, this is a good DVD for you to share with your children! Elmo's fine, but this is a wonderful window into a larger world of eccentric and loveable characters.
