Clap Your Hands! (Sesame Street) [With Puppet]

My 1.5 yo daughter wasn't that big of an elmo fan, but now she is. She loves this book. We follow the book and somtimes just use it as a puppet.

My 6 month old daughter loves this book! The elmo puppet really grabs her attention. The book is pretty short, however. But, she's all smiles during the songs. She tries to grab the book, of course. It's OK with me, as long as she doesn't put it in her mouth (I don't know what kind of glue they use on board books). It gets her interested enough to sit through a few more books afterwards.

What a wonderful concept! Elmo, the puppet, is placed at the center of this book so that the reader can control Elmo's mouth and hands while having Elmo sing, "If You're Happy and You Know It." This well known song has a couple of different lyrics such as, "If you're itchy and you know it scratch your nose." Elmo is able to act out all of the lyrics and it becomes great fun for your child. My toddler adores this book. Highly recommended.

This book was so cute at the local *Mart! I was in the children's book aisle and my eyes zoomed right in. My two year old DD (Dear Daughter) loves Elmo. And she is really into songs now. I thought this would be perfect for Christmas! I had to write a review. Some things you just don't notice online. Sometimes you just have to look around at the store, but hopefully this review will convince you! The review below mine is a A++++ description of the book.

This is a hard-cover book with an Elmo hand-puppet sticking up through of the middle of it. You put your fingers into Elmo's arms and head to make him come to life standing in the middle of the book. Each page has a verse of When You're Happy and You Know It. As you page through the book, you help Elmo clap his hands, scratch his nose and rub his tummy while you sing along. Elmo is furry and red and so cute. My 6-month-old baby loves this book. Her 3-yr-old brother can even read it to her using the hand puppet and following along with the pictures. Adorable entertainment!
