Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 3Follow the Monsters! has simple vocabulary, large print, colorful monster illustrations and a snappy text which rhymes. Beginning readers can follow the Muppet monsters on their way to Sesame Street up in the air and back on the ground, "out of the country and into the town." Dinosaur Days , for more advanced independent readers, is a history of dinosaurs. Smaller print, expanded vocabulary and informative details characterize this title. Pronunciations are included throughout the text. Colorful illustrations of dinosaurs accompany the text. A Dozen Dogs is a read-and-count story featuring dogs of varying size, shape and color who weave a story of canine adventure at the beach. Each colorfully illustrated page, featuring cartoon-style artwork, is brimming with dogs just crying to be counted. Preschoolers will have ample opportunity to test their counting skills on dogs swimming, fishing and frolicking on the pages of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars a fun book about opposites, July 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Follow the Monsters! (Big Bird's Favorites Brd Bks) (Board book)

This book and "Big Bird's Copy Cat Day" are books that I keep in my car to read to my son (age: 1 1/2)when he gets cranky. The rhyming of the book is good. I do not mind it when I have to read them over & over to him.

4.0 out of 5 stars Follow The Monsters, March 27, 2000

This review is from: Follow the Monsters! (Big Bird's Favorites Brd Bks) (Board book)

"Follow the Monsters" is a typically lighthearted Sesame Street book ideal for kids in the 12-36 months range who are just learning to enjoy books, and maybe can even read a bit on their own. The characters are a large cast of furry monsters in search of a way to Sesame Steet. The book focuses on describing the monsters (fat and thin, red and blue, old and young) and how they travel to Sesame Street (walking, flying). No deep messages here, but our 16 month old loves it and, perhaps as important, it is a book we enjoy reading to him.

paid for faster shipping which in same state just miles apart we should have gotten it quickly. It still took almost a week. So book was late. Not in the best of shape, but what we ordered.
