This is a soft cover book only good for pictures of Elmo. It does not have the letters displayed in bold fonts for children to learn. The cover is very misleading.

This is one of my daughter's favorite books and it also the best ABC book that I've come across. Elmo tries to decide what his favorite letter is, from "D" is for dogs, "I" for imagination, and "Z" for Zoe. Each page has the letter highlighted and a reason why Elmo likes the letter. This books has a good pace and pleasing pictures. It's a great addition for anyone trying to teach the alphabet in a fun and exciting way.

THIS IS NOT A BOARD BOOK. This is just a regular soft covered flimsy paper book so if you are looking for something to give to your toddler it's probably not the best thing. This has really been the BEST ABC book i have found. Most ABC books have no story just "a is for apple, b is for bat" that junk, but this book has content. An absolutely adorable concept in my opinion. The thing i DO NOT like is the last page. I don't know if this is a vintage picture or a lapse of artistic talent on the illustrator's side but that has got to be the UGLIEST drawing of Zoe I've seen in my life. It doesn't even look like Zoe. I have been drawing Zoe for like a few weeks and I could get her better then that.

My daughter loves this Elmo book with all the words that begin with the letters of the alphabet. Great learning tool for a toddler.

My only complaint is the pages of the book are thin and tear easily.

We have a lot of Elmo things around the house, including books. We also have several alphabet books since my 20-month-old has learned his letters, numbers and colors with many well-organized and beautifully illustrated books we've bought on Amazon. Because of this, I thought this book would be ideal. I was really disappointed when it came. For this level of book, it had too much text and each letter was just part of the text but not featured in the illustration! I had to take a marker and go through the book and add the letter as a feature of the illustration, myself. It still didn't help. My toddler grandson, who loves Elmo, is not fond of this book at all, although he loves his other ABC books (see Charley Harper's ABC's in particular.)

This book is a little disappointing, but may be appealing to Sesame Street fans. The quality of the paperback is thin and, considering the age group at which it is aimed, I had hoped for it to be a little thicker. I did give it to my granddaughter who is 15 months old and she seemed somewhat interested in the familiar characters. All in all, not a particularly inpressive product.

This book is just ok... the cover is cardstock (not cardboard) making it a very flimsy little book. My son seems to enjoy it, but I don't think it will hold up very well over time.

This book goes through the entire alphabet! Love it! My LO is still young, so sometimes we don't make it to Z when it's bedtime!

This book is definitely cute and there's nothing majorly wrong with it. I purchased this for my 14 month old son. The problem, I guess that's what I'll call it, is that some of this things depicted as examples of words that start with such and such letter, are too abstract for kids under probably 3....maybe older . For instance, the letter "I" uses Imagination as the example word. I just don't know why they wouldn't have used a more easily illustrated and understood word such as "ice cream" even "igloo". They also use "love" for "L" which is nice, but again it's a bit abstract for a really small child. Other than that, the pictures are brightly colored and of course, there's Elmo. Not my favorite ABC book, but hardly awful. Would be appropriate for a child over 2 1/2 in my opinion.

My son really likes Elmo,but for some reason he doesn't care for this book. We have had it for almost a year and still is not interested in letting me read it to him and he never looks through it himself. Not sure why. I'm not that impressed with it either.
