I don't think Ted Cruz would like this book, so that means you should read it. It is about the different types of love and family.

[Amanda]

Such a cute and positive kids book.

[Mr.]

Might have to buy this one. Perfect for Valentine's

[Laura McLoughlin]

The 2 year old picked this up at the library (because he recognized Cookie Monster, his favorite!) Very sweet and lovely. You can't really go wrong with Sesame Street.

[Jeimy]

Silly and adorable.

🎶 Love Is In The Air 🎶

This wonderful, super, fabulous book that will make you feel loved and hugged is highly recommended for everyone who needs a smile. The illustrations are Sesame Street perfect. The Sesame Street friends are in perfect harmony for the 50 years of celebration.
Love is being an everyday Hero.
Who said that?
Love is accepting life even when it comes messy.
Who said that?
Love comes in all Shapes and Sizes.

Happy Reading to find out more and more LOVE!!

This was a cute book that would be great for a Sesame Street day but also just a story time with a theme of love. Having just read I would pair the two of these together for a "love" themed story time, especially with Valentines day coming up these would be a great way to fit the holiday without being so valentines related you couldn't read them other times.

It's kind of walking the line of one of my pet peeves: it does use pictures that go with the text - Cookie Monster and Oscar, for example - but it never actually mentions the characters depicted. So it comes very, very close to using licensed characters to help a book sell without actually having to write a "Sesame Street" story.

It is a very cute idea, though. It's nice for kids to learn that love can look a lot of different ways, and that doesn't necessarily make them wrong.

A cute book with beautiful illustrations (they were my favorite part). Even thought it’s written in simple text for children to understand (which is great!), I do have to be a bit critical at some of their definitions of love, though.
One Example: “Love is building something together”. I feel that a better word to describe this would be “teamwork” instead of “love”.
I did love the last page “Love is everywhere and all around us”. 🙂

Great examples of what love is for the littles

Both me and my preschooler loved this picture book. Following from the examples, she even made her own additional silly "love is..." quotes. It's her new favorite Sesame Street book. Picturess are so bright and engaging, she could not get enough. I personally think the book is too short. It could use additional silly but preschooler-friendly "love is.." lines.

Each spread, starring a beloved Sesame Street character, features a different description or way to express love. Perfect for adults that love to read in different voices--especially adults that have perfected those from Sesame Street (whether by choice or through force).

I love the marker-esque drawings on each page, and I love how many Sesame Street friends are depicted in this book. The series of "love is" examples are a bit abstract, so the text might require discussion: "how does this text relate to the character on this page? What is an example of when love means accepting life even when it is messy?"

[Kristen]

This was a very colorful and cute children's book featuring favorite characters from the television program Sesame Street.

I didn't fell like there was any hidden agendas being pushed in the book.

[Matthew McMullen]

The absolute best Valentines Day present for my one year old who is a lover of all thing Elmo! It's simple enough that he knows what's coming next and the pictures are so bright and playful. Highly recommend

[Lisa]

Perfect for young readers

This book not only tells readers about the various aspects of love, it does so with beautiful and colorful illustrations. A delightful book from Sesame Street.

[Beth Leary]

This book is all about love and what love it and what it looks like. It is a cute book for little kids. The Sesame Street characters talk about what love is. It is loving your self, or being a super hero. This is a great book to talk about confidence and love with children.

[Heather T.]

Heather really liked this one as well! Sweet drawings, and while it may not be a completely sound definition of love from a philosophical standpoint, it's just fine for children. It's just a happy little book.

Sesame Street holds a special place in my childhood and also in my children’s lives. I loved the simple phrases that showcased many types of love by iconic characters. I need to add this one to my seasonal library.

[Jessica Furtado]

Simple and sweet for fans of Sesame Street. Definitely planning to use this for Valentine's Day storytimes at the library.

[Syntha Green]

A sweet tribute to 50 years of Sesame Street

[Kelly]

The characters from Sesame Street tell us what love is. Very sweet.

[Jessica]

This is darling and full of good ideas to inspire children to tell their own ideas about what love is.

Sweet, cozy read about concept of love with Sesame Street characters. Easy read for little ones that have some screen media engagement.

[Engel Dreizehn]

Cute and warm read...with simplistic-iconic, bold colours on white, love in its many forms is explained in gentle by the cast of Sesame Street in their own unique and true way.

[Robin]

Great for a kid that loves naming the letters and numbers on the pages. He isn't familiar with any of the Sesame Street characters but liked this book a lot.
