What Parents Need to Know
About Sesame Street Kids' Guide to Life: Big Bird Gets Lost
Parents need to know that this Sesame Street offering is a must-see for parents and children alike. The video is honest about how scary it is to get lost without being frightening to children. It presents simple, practical instructions for kids and parents, the same instructions given by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Preschoolers will giggle at the thought of Snuffy on skates and they'll be engaged by the important story. As always, Jim Henson's lovable Muppets are a treat of the eyes. Two-year-olds won't catch the lessons, but kids 3 to 5 will learn practical skills from this fun, non-threatening video.

Buy this for birthdays....!
I buy this video for friend's children for either Christmas or bdays... ages 2-6 years old. Can't get enough to learn to "sing" your emergency info w/your child. Many children don't know their # or parents names... we say Mommy Beth Castle so they know my name... we sing our ph# & addrss. Talking to strangers they need to talk to people in the store to find you, just DON"T LEAVE the store w/anyone... Mommy will NEVER leave w/out them. WE LOVE IT! & Share it....
