- Sesame Street Playground
- VARIOUS ARTISTS, $15
Between the songs you sang along with when you were young and the newer ones your own children have gotten stuck in your head, you may consider yourself pretty well versed in Sesame Street's musical canon. But remember: Grover and the gang are part of a global phenomenon. You know "Rubber Duckie" by heart, but what about "La Chanson de l'Amitié"? You and your kids belt out "Elmo's Song" on road trips, but have you ever harmonized to "En Den Dino?" These border-busting tunes all have that recognizable Sesame flair, and some of the melodies may be familiar even if the words are not, making the CD a welcome tool in any preschooler's cultural repertoire. An accompanying five-video DVD offers a glimpse at Sesame Streets where the architecture is as different as the language. —Ages up to 5
