Very nice book! I got it for my niece, she loves Sesame Street and I can't wait to give this book to her. She is only two, so will have to read it with an adult so she doesn't rip the pop-ups, but I enjoyed it very much myself and I'm way older than two! LOL! The pop-ups are big and fun and I loved the Abby Cadabby page. Also Ernie, Cookie and the rest of the gang. Well worth the Amazon price.

I got this book for my 13 month old grandson and I would say that it is his favorite. He mostly cannot manage any of the tabs that make the characters 'move' in this book but he loves the fun anyway. The first 2 pages have a large Elmo that can be moved via a tab, there is an Oscar the grouch in his trash can that can be moved by opening and closing the book a bit, and an apple with a worm that comes out of the apple which my grandson now looks for with excited anticipation. There is a scene devoted to a flying Abby (managed via a sliver of a turn wheel at the bottom of that page) with a pop out Zoe dancing nearby. A fun Bert and Ernie with Elmo musical scene moves via a simple tab and there is a matching socks game in the upper right corner that my grandson enjoys though I haven't even tried to see if he can be taught to learn which matching socks hide behind which tab. The large Big Bird character spanning two of the pages is fun and there is a matching book on the right side for the children to open and look within that is interesting. Super Grover is also given 2 pages which teach up and down concepts, and a big and little concept as well. The last page has all the characters of this particular book which also include the Count and Cookie Monster. Very enjoyable and I do read this book to the baby before nap time and he seems to settle down after we read it. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful book. It truly does live up to expectations. We laughed at the wiggling Elmo and smiled and remembered at how fun Bert and Ernie are and Big Bird has an impressive paper design, though I personally love the end pages, it was a little treat to see all the gang together - it's not everyone, but the principle Muppet cast are present and that is enough to spark stories and games with the kids. I have to say, the book is a treasure and a lovely resource to use with the children. Long live Sesame Street!
