1.0 out of 5 stars Too Academic, November 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Flutter by, Butterfly (Elmo's World, #2) (Library Binding)

While trying to be educational, it seems that these stories have been overanalyzed and miss the point. The story is about how one thing leads to another, chasing a butterfly and then knocking over blocks and then letting the class hamster loose. The author tries to write about the stream of events and talk about emotions and sounds all at the same time. "oopsie-daisy!" There goes Elmo's Ball. Bouncy, bouncy, bounce..." Alot of the text could have been left out and left up to the child to come up with. When I try to read these to my 18 mo. old and my 3 year old, I end up "making my own story" to go with the pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Attention, Elmo lovers!, October 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Flutter by, Butterfly (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)

While this book is definitely for the toddler age group, it is a fun, attention keeping, silly story. A good transition from "baby" board books to "big kid" books.

Cause and effect and a sort of sequence of events is shown in a fun and silly way for toddlers and preschoolers. My two year old son loves Elmo and he loved this book. It moves along quickly with one action leading to another. There is a lost hamster, which my son particularly liked and the illustrations make Elmo and his friend Zoe easily recognizable. There are lots of things in the illustrations of the classroom to look at and lots of vocabulary to discuss in this fun little book.
