The Sesame Street gang is back in this solid theme-based compilation touching on facing common worries. Segments include a silly scene featuring the “Mostly Poultry” T-ball team overreacting to a thunderstorm, during which Hooper's Store worker Chris, Laundromat employee Leela, Elmo, and Abby Cadabby try out techniques to calm the chicken; Zoe overcoming her fear of enormous fuzzy Muppet pup Barkley and learning about proper etiquette for meeting and greeting dogs; and a sleepover where Baby Bear reassures his younger Cousin Bear over scary shadows. Also including animated segments, and a vignette with guest star James Gandolfini (as he chit-chats with Zoe about fears and clutches a teddy bear), extras include the bonus episode “A Celebration of Me, Grover,” and three additional segments. Recommended. Aud: K, P. (J. Williams-Wood)
