This book is longer, so it’d definitely be better for older kids that can sit still and focus a little longer. This is a cute book especially for Sesame Street lovers! My daughter enjoyed this book, but we littler brother didn’t really care for it much.

The pictures are colorful, and just like what you expect from Sesame Street. This book also, teaches that there’s something special about every pet! And you can teach your child that every person is special, too.

Read this one quite a bit as a child. Follows the beloved, original Sesame Street cast as they have a fun pet show featuring skunks, parrots, spiders, goldfish, puppies, kittens, pigeons, horses, and even a firefly!

A delightful little book about the Sesame Street characters and their pets. Some enjoyable artwork and quality characterization make for a strong, if slightly too long, read aloud experience. Especially good if you can differentiate your voice enough for the characters.

My favorite pet was the Count's octopus.

3.0 stars. Cute. No moral really, unless to show there’s a ton of different types of pets and they’re all valid.
