What Parents Need to Know
About The Best of Elmo
Parents need to know that these classic rock adaptations will most likely amuse them as well as their children. "Drive My Car" is based on the Beatles tune, and "Splish Splash" is a take-off on the 1950s Bobby Darin hit. In addition, there are many mini-lessons lurking in Elmo's funny songs; for example, "A Fine Face" describes the function of each facial feature.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about some of the day-to-day situations that Elmo shares with kids; for example, Ernie and Elmo describing a typical day in "Off to School." And then there's the song in which Elmo gets especially ecstatic when someone is finally able to read what he has written ("Elmo Wrote His Name").
