"Elmo's World: Moon" by Jodie Shepherd Book Review

 

"Elmo's World: Moon" by  Jodie Shepherd is another of the Sesame Street Elmo group. It is a simple look at the moon from the eyes of a child. This is a very short book and it leaves much to be desired.

First off, the thing is just too short and second it gives very little understanding of what the moon is. It does tell you what the moon is not, but as even a vary young child I would have been disappointed with this information. 

All and all, this is a book for Elmo fans or children who have little ability to talk. Preschool age children will find the images amusing, but this is a book that just has too little substance to pay for. 

Who should read this book: Elmo Fans

"I Love You Just Like This" by Lillian Jaine Book Review

 

"I Love You Just Like This" by Lillian Jaine is a book in the 

Elmo group on good old Sesame Street. Why the little red fellow has become so big a part of the iconic media I can't say but he has. 

This book is a poem set to be a conversation between Elmo and his unnamed mother. I had a lot of fun with this book but I can't say it's a good bedtime story because it will keep children away with it's bright colors.

Who should read this book: Anyone.

'Another Monster at the End of This Book' by Jon Stone

'Another Monster at the End of This Book'

by Jon Stone is another book with Grover, this time joined by Elmo, with a monster at the end of the book you're reading.

As it is with the last book, Grover is keeping you from finishing. The new element is Elmo moving on trough the book. This is a fun little story about not being afraid of what you don't know about. Then, should children fear the unknown?

Who should read this book? Anyone.

"Big Enough for a Bed" by Apple Jordan Book Review

"Big Enough for a Bed" by Apple

Jordan is the story of Elmo being big enough for a bed rather than a crib. I have no memory of this coming of age moment myself, but I guess it has to be a thing. 

Parents can use this book as a way of comforting their children in the light of this change. I can't say I have ever heard of this problem, but it may exist and this book may stop it before it starts.

Who should read this book? Children who will soon give up the crib.

"The Great Cookie Thief" by Emily Perl Kingsley Book Review

"The Great Cookie Thief" by Emily 

Perl Kingsley is the story of a wild west town plagued by a googly-eyed cookie bandit. This is before we worried about our kids getting diabetes and the world was a simpler place. 

It's a funny little story that teaches children basic words and makes them laugh. I mean, we have no reason to fear the cookie thief, but the town's people all shiver in their boots at him.

Who should read this book? Children learning to read.

"The Monster at the End of this Book" by Jon Stone Review

"The Monster at the End of this 

Book" by Jon Stone is a Sesame Street book featuring everyone's favorite blue monster, Grover, begging you not to read to the end of the book. His reason, to keep you from the monster that is at the end. 

Parents can relate to that as they read this to their little monsters and try, and fail, to sound like Grover.

Who should read this book? fans of Grover.
