Our 20 month old son can't get enough of this book. "Baby" Cookie Monster drinks his milk from a bottle until he sees Big Bird drinking from a big-boy cup. After a spill ("uh oh"), Cookie learns to drink from the big boy cup as well, (which is actually a standard sippy cup)

An excellent book that has earned a spot in my son's book rotation at his choice.

Our 23-month old daughter was fighting drinking her milk from sippy cups even though she's been using sippy cups for water for a long time now. But as soon as we read this book to her and she saw that cookie monster used a sippy cup, she asked for her cup and started drinking her milk! She's still not drinking as much as she used to from a bottle, but she LOVES this story. It is short, but she can't get enough of it, and I'm glad it's short when I have to read it to her 5 times in a row! If your child is a big Sesame Street fan like mine, they will probably love it!

I ordered this book in hopes that Baby Cookie and Baby Bird could help me convince my 2 year old that he was indeed too big for bottles. I read this book at least once a day (my choice, not my son's) to him, and he paid attention to the story. But he wasn't convinced this book had anything to do with his addiction to the bottle. He just didn't empathize at all. I think he is too young. Some other toddlers may have more empathy, and perhaps this book would work for those particular children.

Plus, this book is not worth the money. It's only like 8 pages or so long. It's very skimpy.

I wouldn't even call it entertaining.
