1.0 out of 5 stars Why did they have to add Elmo, February 8, 2005

By 

M "Teach04" (Brownstown, MI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Another Monster at the End of This Book (Sesame Street) (Big Bird's Favorites Board Books) (Board book)

As a child I read "Monster at the End of the Book" and loved it. My question is why did they have to write pretty much the same story and add Elmo. Must he poke his little red head into every aspect of Seasame Street there is. The story lost some of its suspence when he was added. The children in my class when I read the first book they were the ones pushing Grover through the story. In this one Elmo is pushing Grover along and not the children. If you are looking for a great book for your children pick the first one and leave Elmo out.

P.S I have read this with Early Childhood classrooms and Special Education.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the original!, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Another Monster at the End of This Book (Hardcover)

The thing that made the first Monster at the End of This Book so good was the interaction between Grover and the child. This book lacks that. The interaction is between Grover and Elmo. It's an OK book, but a real let down after the first one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, January 15, 2000

This review is from: Another Monster at the End of This Book (Sesame Street Ser.) (Hardcover)

I am a 25 year old married woman with no children (yet) but I buy both of these books (The Monster and Another Monster) for my little cousins, nieces and nephews, and my friend's children. I remember having my mom and dad read the original (The Monster) over and over. I can only imagine how tired they got of reading it. It still sits on my shelf and I laugh every time someone questions me about it! :-)
