Elmo's Lift-and-Peek Around the Corner Book (Great Big Board Book)
Wander through the Sesame Street neighborhood; around every corner is a new surprise. Whether counting from 1 to 12 with the help of numbered flaps, matching objects in mailboxes, or peeking behind windows to see who lives in the "Furry Arms" apartment building, kids will love lifting, looking, and learning with this big, busy board book. With more than 60 flaps to peek behind, children will want to spend lots of time exploring. It's fun to learn about books (Three Little Pigs,Alice in Wonderland) and opposites (light/heavy, asleep/awake, slow/fast) when Big Bird and Bert and Ernie are behind the flaps to help! Created in cooperation with the Children's Television Workshop, producers ofSesame Street, this book, though somewhat overwhelming in color and activity, will appeal to lively little eyes and hands. Joe Mathieu's illustrations, based on the well-known Sesame Street characters, are familiar and inviting. (Baby to preschool)--Emilie Coulter
