Why We Rated This on for Ages 3 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    A variety of subjects get covered by the Sesame Crew and there's lots of lessons and advice to go around, like bird appreciation, eating your vegetables and keeping the park clean for the pigeons (the last bit of advice delivered by Bert of course!).
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    The album is tied to the Sesame Street brand, that includes a full line of television shows, DVDs and toys.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Sesame Street: Silly Songs

Parents need to know that this this collection of silly songs is all about being wacky and funny and having a good time with music. A few songs have positive social messages and there's even some learning thrown in (the Count doing his arithmetic for example).

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about making silly songs all their own. You don't have to make a song that is serious or even sensible. Can you try to make your own silly songs? What can you tell about the Sesame Street characters from listening to their songs? Does Bert sing a different song from Ernie? Can you make up a song about something you like or something you think is funny?
