Review Title Big Bird Says Read This Book

STORY: Big Bird says is kind of like Simon says. Big Bird tells you what to do, and then you do it. Some things we're incapable of doing, but most we can do easily. This is a great way to get your kid to exercise and read at the same time. Plus, they'll be enjoying it, not seeing it as a workout but a game. When I read this book, I felt an urge to get out of my chair and try the things Big Bird said. Kids love this book I can guarantee that, my little one sure did. It's a book with lots of fun stuff in it. A great rhyming book.

My niece likes to follow what big bird says as fast as possible, and sometimes dissolves into giggles at some of the instructions, we don't have a wagon or stilts or a goose but she figures out a way to make do. The game really can be a delight when played with enthusiasm.

Nice way to help children mimic you and to learn what things are.

Touch someone in bed? Bad advice, big bird. Never wake up people. O_O
