Took my 18 month old son to Toysrus and he ran to his favorite aisle...the BOOK aisle, he sat down and chose two books this one and 1,2,3 count with Elmo and Me. He LOVES them both. This book is just great, beautiful pictures and such a nice way to begin teaching your child numbers as well as different animals. My son cannot get enough of Ernie & Elmo and this book really fits the bill for him. I love the construction of the book, it's not exactly a board book it's what I would describe as a "new and improved" board book, has a wonderful cover (chewing resistant)and it is real sturdy. My son has a fairly extensive library already and I can say this is one of his all-time favorites. After I purchased this book and we left toysrus, we got in the car, my husband was driving and my son asked me to read it to him on the drive home, numerous times. Each time I read it he had a huge smile on his face and by the time we got home (15 minute drive) he had already had a few of the animals sounds down pat! This is a great book and I highly recommend it! Oink, Oink!

This review is from: Animal Alphabet (Sesame Street) (Sesame Street Start-To-Read Books) (Board book)

My 18 month daughter has a lot of books, but the one she will always pick from her shelf is this one (followed by a close second to Sesame Street's 1, 2, 3 Count With Me). I rely on this book so much that I've resorted taking it with her when I run errands. The illustrations are bright, colorful and fun to look at. Letters are shown in both uppercase and lowercase. They do seem to stretch it though when they get to the end of the alphabet. Seems they had a hard time coming up with animals. U is Unicorn and they felt it neccessary to have Elmo on the page holding a sign saying that unicorns are make-believe. And for the letter X they portray a Xenops. But overall, this is a great book and it's been very helpful in teaching my daughter letters as well as the different animals.
