The beloved character of Elmo from Sesame Street
stars in this oversized lift the flap board book, which is perfectly
sized for little hands that haven't quite mastered
the fine art of turning small pages. Elmo teaches
the little ones about the joy of drawing in this colorful
book. "When it's too rainy to go out to play, Elmo
can draw a pretty day." The book shows Elmo drawing
a sunny day, new faces, and even a rocket ship. And at
the end of the book Elmo says, " Even babies can draw.
Show Elmo how you draw, Baby." The last page is a
blank space where your baby can draw his own
childhood masterpiece. The Elmo's World series
of books, like Sesame Street itself, is a great
tool for teaching babies basic skills, such as
drawing. The large-size flaps are an especially nice touch,
and the brightly colored pictures juxtaposed with the
photos of Elmo make this a keeper for your little
Rembrandt in training.
