About this title

Review:

The Sesame Street baby Muppets know just how it is to be a 12 to 18 month old. Nothing is more fun than copying the movements and gestures of other people. So when Elmo says, "Touch your nose. Touch your toes," tots will be tickled to join Cookie Monster and Grover: "Cookie see, Cookie do! Grover, too. So can YOU!" Sesame Beginnings is an entertaining, developmentally sequenced board book series that provides building blocks to literacy and learning. Toddlers will love turning the sturdy pages of the brightly colorful Cookie See! Cookie Do!, flipping back the foldout in every spread to see Cookie Monster and other familiar characters demonstrating the activities Elmo introduces: jumping up and down, reaching up high, standing up tall, and giving hugs. Don't miss Pat-a-Cake, Baby Faces, or any of the other titles in this adorable series. (12 to 18 months) --Emilie Coulter

From Publishers Weekly:

Sesame School Random House launches the Sesame Beginnings series, a line of board books designed to teach pre-literacy skills to babies and toddlers. The books are leveled 1-5 to correspond to different developmental stages, and the first book, Baby Faces by Wendy Cheyette Lewison, illus. by Christopher Moroney, connects the facial expressions of familiar Sesame Street characters with phrases such as "Boo-boo" and "Bye-bye." Peekaboo! I See You!, by the same team, engages youngsters with the familiar game; flaps lift to reveal the names of each character ("Someone is hiding. Do you know who? Peekaboo, Big Bird! I see you!). Cookie See! Cookie Do! by Anna Jane Hays, illus. by Barry Goldberg, uses gatefold spreads to highlight the growing physical competency of two-year-olds ("Elmo says, Reach up high. Stand up tall"). Toddlers learn simple games and songs in Pat-a-Cake and Other First Baby Games and Sing a Song of Sixpence and Other First Songs for Baby, both illus. by Tom Brannon. (May)
