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!

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...

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!!!

This is a sturdy book for toddlers to play with all on their own. My son will sit and turn the heavy cardboard pages, pointing out his favorite Sesame Street characters as well as everyday things that he recognizes in each scene. Sometimes, he will put the book flat on the floor and lay on top of it, nose pressed to the pages with delight. This big book is BIG FUN!

Big Bird's Big book has never failed to make a great impression--and my gift is always fondly remembers months later. Further, this is my favorite baby gift for child #2+. Usually, families with children have clothes and toys, and the older sib can feel jealous of all the gifts for the new baby. I always send a card that says, "ask your older brother/sister to read this to you" and it's a hit EVERY time!

Richly illustrated, stimulating and just plain fun, this Sesame Street book is an excellent choice for toddlers through 1st or 2nd grade. My 22 month old loves "The count" and "Big Bird." I love books like this: he can grow into the book and appreciate its richly detailed illustrations more as he grows older.

I bought two books, great buy. A lot of pictures, activities, colors, and much more. You can use your creativity and do games and teach kids a lot of new words, how to count. The huge size is what caughts the attention of the kids. I have three girls and they love them. I will never regret buying such wonderful books. There are labels everywhere, just perfect for parents so they can interact with their kids. You can come up with your own labels too and be creative. The best, good quality, and tons of learning activities. It is like buying 10 books in one.

Nowhere in the write-up for this book does it say that the book is 2 feet tall! I thought that it would be big in contents, but instead it is just ridiculously oversized. I wouldn't have minded it if I had know beforehand, but I had it shipped to my house for my granddaughter who was visiting. The book does not fit into luggage, so now I am stuck with the book! The contents are cute and fun, but Amazon must give the reader a better description.

My kids and I used to open to the different scenes and use our little Fisher-Price people to play in the beautiful scenes... I remember the "beach" page best. We spent hours and hours with our little people shopping in the village or down getting a tan on the beach or swimming with the Sesame Street characters.
This book is a GREAT size for that sort of thing...

My daughters have enjoyed a copy of this book for years, and I had to get a copy for my niece so that she could experience it!
