Elmo's World: Opposites! (Sesame Street)

This book, following the cartoon format of the t.v. program, is not a traditional lift-the-flap design. Instead, almost every page contains a cut-out with which to see a hint of what is on the next page. It covers the concepts: day/night loud/quiet neat/messy closed/open sad/happy stop/go tall/short hello/goodbye It is a very "busy" book so babies and toddlers might have a difficult time understanding all the concepts and distinguishing what the meaning of the illustrations are on each page. I definitely recommend this book for the preschooler age group. Advanced 5 year olds and older kids will probably get bored with this book fast.

My little one loves Elmo and the show. The colorful little tome is visually similar to the art direction of the show especially the "crayon colored" look. This is a nifty little book to jump start little minds to think and notice about opposites! Now if Elmo can get the idea of fuzzy logic across in the next book!
