Gotta love Elmo! June 23, 2009
Format:Board book
I bought this book to keep our 18-month-old busy during a roadtrip. She LOVES Elmo and was not disappointed by this book. The story is very simple, and the illustrations are very bright and engaging. The only down-side is that the pop-up of Elmo at the end of the book tears pretty easily. I would recommend this book for toddlers and preschoolers. Keep in mind, though that you may want to keep an eye on your little one when reading it so the book doesn't get ruined.

Favorite Book!!! April 17, 2009
Format:Board book
My son is 6 months old and this is his favorite book by far. He likes all the books I read to him, but when he sees this book he gets really excited. He kicks his feet, smiles and "talks" to the pictures and reaches out to touch them. He has a lot of books, but this is the only book that he gets this excited about. If I bring out a stack of books to read to him, he reaches for this one above the others. He especially likes the last page with the pop-up. The images on the pages are very big and simple, and each page is a different color. I think that's why he likes it so much. Other books have too many pictures on the pages and the colors are not as bright and bold. I think the big simple pictures and bright bold colors are more interesting for babies of my son's age. I'm going to buy some other books in the Sesame Beginnings series since he likes this one so much. I even went out and bought him a little Elmo doll so he can hold it while we read his favorite book! He loves it!

Wonderful First Book! June 23, 2008
Format:Board book
Elmo So Big is a wonderful first book. Both of my two kids loved it starting around 6 months of age to about 18 months. The book portrays simple everyday activities and motions that the baby or toddler can relate to and imitate. I also believe my kids loved the book so much because of the color scheme-simple with a lot of contrast. While kids lose interest in the book beyond 2 years old, it is still worth having for the early smiles, giggles and learning.
