Featuring a variety of beloved Sesame Street characters as babies, this entry in the Sesame Beginnings series—designed as an interactive developmental program for infants and parents—features diapered incarnations of Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Prairie Dawn, who are paired with their adult loved ones in vignettes exploring the five senses, coupled with clips of real-life parent-child participants (including The Today Show host Matt Lauer and his young daughter Romy). Employing songs (“Smell a Smell Waltz,” “Look, What's That?”, “Teeny Tiny Taste”) and activities (looking for toys, tasting various foods, and listening games), Exploring Together is one of the better-produced titles in the overpopulated baby-vid field. DVD extras include “Together Time” tips, and a Spanish language track. Recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
