Sesame Street Treasury: ABC & 123
Learning words and numbers is fun with Big Bird, Elmo, Grover, and the other Sesame Street friends along to help. In the first half of this sturdy oversized book, every page features a letter, A to Z, accompanied by a scene featuring objects starting with that letter. The M spread, for example, shows a moonlit mountain landscape, with Sesame Street detectives Ernie and Bert investigating (with a magnifying glass, of course) the mystery of the missing mitten. Young readers will take pleasure in pointing out the mitten under a tree with a mouse curled up inside and a moose lurking nearby. In the second half of the book, illustrations depict one broom sweeping, swooshing; two hammers pounding, pounding; three big bales of hay; four round rubber tires, and so on up to 20, then continuing with 30, 40, 50, etc., to 100. By then, it takes an entire Sesame Street Fair to show all the items so far enumerated. Two educational books in one terrific treasury!

Children can learn their ABC's and 1, 2, 3's with their favorite Sesame Street characters in this colorful, fun, and educational hardcover. What better way to acquire these important early concepts than with their Muppet friends? The ABC Book of Words allows children to learn the alphabet and new vocabulary on every beautiful spread. The Counting Book has number examples on Sesame Street from "one broom swooshing" to "100 Twiddlebugs at the Twiddlebug Fair!" Together, these books make for a terrific over-size hardcover packed with value!

Description from Publisher


Two Sesame Street books from 1988 and 1991 were rereleased as this excellent combined edition. The ABC section has bright illustrations showing a scene for each letter. On each page, the objects that start with that letter are highlighted with the name of the object. Each silly scene is cleverly done, so that children will eagerly want to explore what is happening in each picture. The 123 section encourages children to count from 1 brook swooshing to 1000 Twiddlebugs at the Twiddlebug Fair. An excellent addition to any child's personal library!

The Sesame Street Dictionary

By Linda Hayward
This first book of words and their meanings is one of the best-loved Sesame Street titles published by Random House. It includes more than 1,300 entries of verbs, nouns, and adjectives. The full-color illustrations are chockablock with trademark Sesame Street humor, making this book as much fun to leaf through as to look up a word. Plus each book comes with a special gift, a CD sampler of classic Sesame Street songs, including "Elmo’s Rap Alphabet," "Off to School," and "Cookie’s Rhyming Song"!

Description from Publisher


The Sesame Street Dictionary is the perfect way to teach children how to use a dictionary. Over a thousand words are included, which means that most vocabulary that young children will have difficulty with should be included. Each entry includes the term, a definition, a sentence using that term, and a hilarious cartoon demonstrating the term. Children will find this dictionary so engaging that they may begin to look up words just to read the cartoons. An excellent addition to any personal or school library.

Elmo's Big Word Book: What New Words Will You Learn Today

(Elmo's World Board Book)

By Mary Beth Nelson
Elmo's World is full of fun things to do and see, from the playroom to the park to the grocery store. In this big board book, the beloved furry red Sesame Street character shares all his favorite places and things to do. Each of the 5 two-page spreads is tabbed with a picture of one of the featured items within. A muddy pig represents a visit to a farm, a tricycle indicates a section on the park, and Dorothy the goldfish is the official ambassador for the playroom. Readers will enjoy pointing out the items in each display and spelling out the captioned titles: train set, notebook, goat, picnic basket, milk carton, etc. As there is a range in difficulty of the words (from ball to dictionary), kids can grow with the book, returning to it time after time as their vocabularies develop. The fact that virtually every inanimate object (including skateboards and cash registers) sports a pair of eyeballs à la Blue's Clues may grate on the nerves of adult readers, but kids won't bat an eye.

Description from Amazon.com


Elmo visits some of his favorite places and introduces children to many new words along the way. He plays the piano in his playroom and feeds a pigeon in the park. He hops on a horse at the farm, browses for books in the library, and he fills up his shopping cart with goodies at the store.
