On every spread of this larger-than-life flap book, kids can explore the neighborhood that's just around the corner from Sesame Street. From the hilarious guests in the Furry Arms Hotel to the treasures in the delightfully cluttered Finders Keepers shop, there are flaps aplenty to lift and glorious surprises to discover beneath them. Each sumptuous spread teaches an important basic concept--such as counting, matching, or opposites.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Wander through the Sesame Street neighborhood; around every corner is a new surprise. Whether counting from 1 to 12 with the help of numbered flaps, matching objects in mailboxes, or peeking behind windows to see who lives in the "Furry Arms" apartment building, kids will love lifting, looking, and learning with this big, busy board book. With more than 60 flaps to peek behind, children will want to spend lots of time exploring. It's fun to learn about books (Three Little Pigs, Alice in Wonderland) and opposites (light/heavy, asleep/awake, slow/fast) when Big Bird and Bert and Ernie are behind the flaps to help! Created in cooperation with the Children's Television Workshop, producers of Sesame Street, this book, though somewhat overwhelming in color and activity, will appeal to lively little eyes and hands. Joe Mathieu's illustrations, based on the well-known Sesame Street characters, are familiar and inviting. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
From Publishers Weekly
Elmo, the popular red resident of Sesame Street, barely makes an appearance in this large lift-the-flap board book that bears his Muppet moniker. Kids tackle such early-learning topics as numbers, opposites and matching as they lift flaps on the loudly colored, chaotic-looking pages. One of the trickier spreads focuses on storybook characters and familiar objects from their tales. And another layout, spotlighting guests staying at the Furry Arms hotel, seems out of place amid the educational content of the other scenes. Strong character recognition will likely carry this title to success, but there are better offerings in the Sesame Street line. Ages 2-6.

A book that you have to buy,
This review is from: Elmo's Lift-and-Peek Around the Corner Book (Great Big Board Book) (Board book)
My two years old son reads this book every day. Each page has one theme. My son loves to use his interpretation and imagination to describe what the sesame street muppets are doing and talking about to each other. After my friends read this book, they all ask me to order it for them. Now I have ordered four more for them.

This book recalled the days when I watched "Sesame Street" as a little girl. I am very pleased to share the fun, educational experience of "Sesame Street" characters with my son. For everyone who loves Elmo, Grover, Big Bird, etc., this is a must-read!

This review is from: Elmo's Lift-and-Peek Around the Corner Book (Great Big Board Book) (Board book)
Worth the money. Teach your baby with YOUR pleasure - he/she will be delighted. Not all of Sesame Str. books are so great as this one (e.g. I warn you: do NOT buy "Tickle me Elmo"). You and your kid will be delighted uncovering things (I discover the clown's toothpaste after two weeks...) Really nice and helpful with development of the child.
