Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Fiesta means party in Spanish, and Sesame Street is pulsating with activity in this upbeat preschool program featuring Latino songs. Jim Henson's Muppets join the fun while everyone's favorite, Elmo, learns the Conga- Wiggle dance. Maria, Rosita, and Gabi create floats and costumes; even Oscar reluctantly partakes in the festivities. The dialogue is sparse in order to devote most of the 30-minute show to singing and dancing during eight Spanish/English tunes, featuring special performances by Linda Ronstadt and Celia Cruz. Most of the music will be familiar, such as "Conga Counting Song," "Amigo," and "It Sure Is Hot." Kids will also learn greetings, familiar words, and numbers in Spanish. While some might wish for the addition of live-action scenes of Mexico or a more complex story line, the bilingual focus is solid and the ever supportive cast of Sesame Street grownups, kids, and Muppets make it a neighborhood worth visiting. --Lynn Gibson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great for beginnersMy kids who are just beginning to learn Spanish have learned a lot of vocabulary from this DVD, highly recommended for second language learners! Rating: - Great Sesame Street video!We love this video - who doesn't love Sesame Street? - it is fun, upbeat and the songs are great. I don't know if my kids are really learning much spanish with it, but it is a great way to put the music and culture in front of them in an entertaining way! Rating: - It is a real FiestaMy kids enjoy watching this video, it is a lot of fun, very entertaining and it is rewarding to see that they learned to count with it... Rating:  - Where is the Spanish?Bought this for my 17 month old (teaching her Spanish). There is hardly any spanish. And when there is SPanish, the person speaking was an English accent. It's SO horrible. Don't buy this. If you want a good Spanish DVD, get "Me gusta ser yo" and "bienvenida la primavera". Rating: - bicultural My children have enjoyed this video without actually being aware that it is in english and spanish. Sesame Street at its best. This video celebrate our latin best like Celia Cruz and the kids have fun.
