Shake a Leg! (Sesame Street) (Big Bird's Favorites Board Books)

Elmo was always my favorite Sesame Street character when I was little, but this short beginner's book features not only him as the cover suggests, but also almost all of the Sesame Street crew. Elmo and his friends do more than "shake a leg," they also exercise many other body parts in a fun and descriptive (thru the illustrations) way. My kid loves this book, and I would highly recommend it to anybody who has a child that likes Sesame Street, or anybody who wants to get their kid motivated about exercise.

This is a great activity book, as you read along you have your little ones do what the monsters are doing. It's fun watching them and it's a great way to keep them active.

This is a fun book for any Elmo fan. It helps teach body parts, as well as coordination, and it's a cute book besides!

This is one of my daughter's favorite books because it's very involving in a physical and non-threatening way. You read the text, you show her the movement, she sees the movement depicted, and does it. She had lots of fun and was very interested in learning the names of various body parts.This is a wonderful book, but not before a nap or bedtime. For that, I'd recommend the related Elmo book "Quiet Time."

Elmo and his friends perform various easy to imitate actions in their muppet exercise class. My two year old loves to follow along and do each step like 'honk her nose' and 'rub her tummy'. It's a great book for 1-3 year olds.
