I really wanted to like this book more. The text, as expected, is simply the lyrics to the Sesame Street theme song. Each page has an illustration by a different artist, and this gives the book a bit of a disjointed feel. The illustrations are lovely, they just don’t always flow well together. That being said, fans of Sesame Street will enjoy this book — the familiar words, the ability to sing the book, finding familiar faces in the illustrations, it’s sure to be a hit. Best for Pre-K to 1st grade.
