Sesame Street Elmo's Favorite Places (Lift-the-Flap)

This book saved me. We went on a very very long flight from southern Africa to the US and back and I bought this book hoping it would help keep my 2-year old entertained. (In addition to lots of snacks and few movies). It did the trick! She loves opening the flaps and finding her favorite characters. It's really very cute and has tons of fun flaps and pictures- it also seems pretty educational as each page teaches a different skill: shapes, numbers, letters, etc. She loves it!

Good book. Lots of flaps for interaction

Bought this as a gift when I visited my 2 year-old nephew who loves Elmo. Over the course of two weeks, he progressively explored more of the flaps and revisited some favorites. I had to show him the ABC flaps and they soon became his absolute favorite part, with him commanding me to ‘do ABC’! He knew about 18 of the corresponding images (‘a is for Apple’) and by the time I left, he knew the rest and was very pleased with himself. It was a lot of fun to read this with him and a offers a lot of new words and concepts for toddlers to explore.

Currently using this book for a 1 1/2 year old to teach her the alphabet. She loves the flaps and can point and say the letter. So this is great for not only learning how to say the letters but to recognize them. Aside from that, the book arrived in terrific condition. It is colorful and has many other words and features to entertain a child as they grow.

This Elmo book is now my 2yr old nephews favorite book. Durable with good illustrated characters and lots flip-up windows. Would highly recommend

Elmo's Big Lift-And-look Book (Sesame Street) (Great Big Board Book) My son was given the other Sesame street lift the flaps book (I've attached a link to it) with one of the pages all torn up. Despite this, he loves it, It's been his favorite book since he was about 15 months old, he's now almost 19 months. So instead of buying a new version of that book, I decided to try this newer book. This one has thinner pages that are somewhat flimsy for a lift the flap book. The flaps themselves are fine, but the actual pages just aren't thick enough. With the older book he could stand on top of it and it wouldn't make a dent. This one, however, he easily bent one of the pages in half. I wonder why quality of books is progressively worsening. I'm actually happier when I can find books used because they were made to a higher standard. I am pleased with the content of this book it has a lot more vocabulary, however, some of the drawings are not up to par, for example, one page has an image of Grover riding a bike with both pedals down... something a young kid won't pick up on, but c'mon! Who is drawing these things? I'll compare the books for you: Page 1: Elmo's Favorite Places (EFP): Counting on a farm. count 1-12, animals, food, etc. (I like that it shows a more natural setting instead of the busy city) Elmos's Big Lift the Flap Book (EBLFB): Counting on Sesame Street. count 1-10, mostly sesame street characters and foods. (not healthy foods, and a busy city... not the greatest image) Page 2: EFP: The Aquarium. animals and fish peek-a-boo essentially, My son skips this page. But the animals shown are out of the ordinary and really interesting to me... hopefully to him soon. EBLFB: Alphabet. BIG drawing of Elmo with his stack of alphabet blocks, letters on the blocks, pictures and words inside the flap. By far my son's favorite page. Page 3: EFP: Alphabet. Classroom scene with alphabet flaps around the image of Elmo and his friends at school. Also has some vocab of things inside a classroom. EBLFB: Shapes. (Mine is missing all these flaps) Elmo and friends at the park scene. 7 basic shapes: circle/sun, square/easle, rectangle/truck, triangle/boat, parallelogram/kite, oval/tree knot, octagon/stop sign, with flaps showing a bold color and words inside. Page 4: EFP: Shapes. Busy playground scene with 9 basic shapes triangle/roof, circle/window, square/window, rectangle/truck, oval/trash can lid, octagon/stop sign, rhombus/kite, pentagon/ice cream stand, star/balloon. EBLFP: Opposites. Playground scene with big/little, up/down, full/empty, dry/wet, closed/open, short/long, in/out, low/high flaps Page 5: EFP: Random object in Elmo's room. Most objects are hidden, i.e. a train in a tunnel comes out when you lift the flap. Added benefit to this page is a key at the top with other things to search for under the flaps, almost like a memory game. I like this, my son, not yet... EBLFB: Random object in a classroom. Help Elmo fid his teddy bear. Look under and in things in the room for the teddy bear that is actually out in plain sight. Both books are great for lift the flap. The older book is much more simple, not as detailed drawings, not even half as many vocabulary words so it's definitely aimed at a younger group. The newer "Favorite Place" book is more suited to the preschool ages. Educationally, this book far surpasses the older lift the flap book and is categorized better. So depending on the age range you are shopping for, either book has it's benefits. For us, right now the lifting of flaps is really the only interesting thing about the book, so sturdiness is what we are going for. next year I'm sure the other book will get much more use.

My 20mos old has this book at his daycare and is always playing with it when I pick him up. He cries when we realizes we cant take it home. Amazon to the rescue! Bought it and now we have it at home and he absolutely LOVES it!! EVERY night this occupies him so I can do a few things around the house. Its ALL ELmo ALL the time!! :) LOTS of fun flaps of shapes, colors, letters, objects etc.. (which we can resight most of them) GREAT for the kiddos!! We LOVE this book and would for sure recommend and buy again if needed. Would also make a great gift. Just sayin.

My 18month old loves this book and so do I! It is very large and the pictures are great. I really love lifting the different flaps to reveal what's underneath. They are made of a heavy cardstock so they are durable for children. She will sit and read this book with me and point out all of the objects and characters on the pages. Very good for vocabulary too, we have already picked up several new words just from reading this book! A+

The different locations in the book are fun for little hands to explore.

Ganz tolles Buch, mit vielen Farben. Ideal für kleine Kinder. Hieraus können die Kinder vieles lernen. Das anheben der markierten Teile, aber auch verschiedene Alltagsgegenstände.

My two year old daughter absolutely loves this book. The flaps are cardboard, not paper, so it can handle a toddler opening and closing them over and over and over, all on their own. Lots of bright colourful pictures too, aimed at this age group definitely.....with a few visual gags thrown in , when you open the flaps, make this a winner at bedtime with her.

Excelente libro para los niños que estan empezando a aprender ingles , muy didactico y facil de entender y divertido para los niños

セサミストリートが大好きな1歳半の娘にさまざまな本をAmazonで購入しましたが、こちらが1番良かったです。 ・ハードカバーがしっかりしていて、めくりも頑丈 ・カラフルで見ているだけで楽しいようで、ひとりでもめくって遊んでいる ・とにかくボキャブラリーが豊富
