2.0 out of 5 stars Where are the "clearly labeled details"?, March 4, 2000

This review is from: Big Bird's Big Book (Sesame Street) (Board book)

I ordered this book sight unseen for my 22 month-old son as he loves picture word books. I am disappointed by the lack of labels in the illustrations! My son loves all kinds of trucks but to be honest I can't tell the difference between a back hoe and a dump truck. This book won't tell me either, so it is hard for me to use the book as a teaching tool. I was also disappointed by the section on teaching colors as I find it difficult to find good examples of "true" color on these pages. The illustration is a southwestern desert scene with what almost looks like psychedelic colors(turquoises, fuschias and teal greens). I was trying to decide between buying this book or the Richard Scarry's Biggest Word Book Ever, and I obviously made the wrong decision!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is huge!, January 4, 2006

My 16 month old got this book for Christmas and he loves it! It is worth the money. The only downside is that my son likes to read on my lap and sometimes he has quite a time trying to lug the book up. It's kinda funny to watch. This is a great picture book for the little ones. Very large, but fun to sit with your child and point out the different pictures, colors, numbers...

5.0 out of 5 stars A well loved book, June 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Bird's Big Book (Sesame Street) (Board book)

I purchased this book in 1987 when it first came out for my now 14 & 13 year olds. They loved this book "to death". For some reason I couldn't part with it even though the pages were taped together after hours of page turning by my older kids. We now have an 18 month old. When we ran accross this book in storage, we brought it out for the baby. He thinks this book is the best. He sits and looks at the bright pictures, pointing to all the loved characters. Unfortunately the book was damaged in storage, so now I'm shopping for it again!!!
