My kids love Sesame Street, so this was a fun story for them. They especially loved all of the loud noises that Oscar demonstrated in this book!

The sentences were short, and easy to understand. My kids both enjoyed this story, and it’s great for Sesame Street loving kiddos.

My step-nieces and I read this to Natalie while we were visiting. Most of the characters were the ones from when I watched the show, meaning not Elmo, Murry, Rosita, and Zoey. The book was simple and fun. There were different loud sounds described with some fun language and a picture to go with each.
