Product Description Illustrated in full color. Turn playtime into learning time with lovable Sesame Street Muppet Elmo and the biggest flap book ever! Toddlers can lift alphabet blocks to find a word beginning with each letter, open doors and windows on Sesame Street to count objects from one to ten, lift flaps that reveal opposites, and help Elmo find his teddy! More than 60 sturdy flaps--10 to 26 per spread--are part of the page, not glued on, and are made to stand up to the repeated wear and tear kids are sure to inflict with lots of lifting, looking, seeking, finding, and fun!
Outline Count to 10, explore the alphabet, discover shapes, learn about opposites, and find the missing teddy bear in this big, colorful board book. Sesame Street's beloved Elmo guides young readers to lift more than 60 flaps to reveal humorous and edifying surprises. Over the word "dry," Grover gazes unsuspectingly into a garden hose. Turn the flap and guess what happens! Grover learns all about "wet." A towering pyramid of alphabet blocks contains objects starting with the same letter behind each flap: alligator, book, cookies. Large, sturdy flaps allow rough-tough toddler hands to clutch and pull as much as they want with minimal risk of tearing. Children will adore the bright, bold illustrations of Jim Henson's familiar Muppet characters and beg to return to this book again and again. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

I am always looking for educational type activities that are fun...my 18month daughther seems to really enjoy all the "lift windows" that are in this book. I would highly recommend.
Beautiful book! Needs adult help. Jan 20, 2008
This is a wonderful book and my granddaughter loves it. I had to open all the tabs first as they are really stuck to the page and have to be pried open. If you let a toddler do this they will tear every tab and it will be difficult for them to even find the tabs. Any child into Sesame Street and who isn't will love this book!
Great Book for Tots Jan 12, 2008
My son LOVED this book when he was about 2. It was a favorite and I read it to him too many times to count for a couple of years. I like to give this book as a gift. My godson (20 months) "reads" it every day. He loves to open the flaps and count. And of course, he's a huge Elmo fan. Highly recommended!
Not very durable Nov 29, 2007
I recently purchased this for my 3 year old. On the plus side, he absolutely loves it. It is very engaging for a child who loves Sesame Street, and I think very educational too. But, one of the flaps ripped within 5 minutes of its first use. (And, my son is relatively gentle with his books.) We've had a lot of lift-and-look type books over the past 2+ years, and the strength/durability of this one does not compare. For example, the Baby Einstein series seems to have thicker flaps. Kids will probably love it, but be aware it might not last long.
Elmo's Big Lift and Learn Book Sep 24, 2007
This is a great book for little girls and boys. My grandsons, ages 9 mos and 2 yrs, love it! It's a book they interact with, and they love that.
