my son looooooves this video and so do we!

My son is 21 months old and loves this movie. He wants to watch it every night before bed. He just squeals with delight when it comes on. My daughter who is 4 also loves it and talks along with all the kids. She especially loves to talk along with the little boy who has the very, very wholy blankey. She knows every word. I understand some of the parents not liking the kids talking as much as the stories, but if your kids are used to that format (mine were through Sesame Street videos) then they won't mind a bit. Every child is different, so some will love it and some won't. As for the kids being "very New Yorky"- yes, they are, but why is that so horrible? I like exposing my kids to kids from different places, and once again, if they watch Sesame Street videos, they'll already be used to kids from New York. The only criticism I have is that it goes into some very heavy issues- one little boy talks about his mommy dreaming about his dad who died. That's a pretty serious topic for bedtime. I'd prefer that they didn't do that, but my kids don't seem to be badly affected by it.

Creepy NYC kids featured.

My daughter enjoys this video. I don't.
It is too New York-centric, e.g. Tar Beach, references to Scarsdale. The children featured are not very endearing. There are a couple of pale unsmiling girls, some of them talk like adults with a glassy stare. They come across as city kids with city attitude. The 'hush little baby' song is too urbanized.
And the Tar Beach story, I don't understand why it's so popular. The actual beach is 1 hour away by subway, much more pleasant than hanging out on a NYC rooftop and pretending it's a beach. And the empowerment message is silly.
It's an OK video if you like NYC so much that you want it represented on your Good Night Moon video.
