This book actually reminded me of Dr. Seuss's "Oh, the Places You'll Go". Because, frankly, college or high school graduates are the PERFECT audience for this book. It's all about life and what will happen--but keep on keeping on.

Fans of Sesame Street will smile at references to "counting your blessings" with the Count as an illustration. Or friendships and you have Bert and Ernie. Having laughter? You guessed it--Elmo. Seriously, this book is sweet. I just don't see kids getting it as much as adults.

This book is not a story. It has short messages from the characters on Sesame Street about following your dreams. I like the illustrations. It's more of a book you would give someone to congratulate them on graduating. But I don't know how much a high school or college grad would like it if they aren't a fan of Sesame Street. There are blank pages for family and friends to sign and write messages. I wouldn't mind receiving this book at my graduation if it was filled with nice messages from my family and friends.

I got this book from Big W for free, they currently have a weekly free Sesame Street storybook. This one is my five-month-old’s absolute favourite. I’m not sure what he loves exactly, maybe the bright colours, maybe the rhymes, maybe he feels inspired.

I like Sesame Street themed books for the little ones. This one was a bit wordy.

[The Book Consultant · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this! It wasn’t a story so much as advice and encouragement in charming rhymes; my 5 year old and I both really liked it. This was a wonderful book with wonderful messages.

'Inspirational' messages with Sesame Street characters. Best part were the illustrations.

[Kevin Garinger · Rating 3 out of 5]

Longer than expected and really nothing to do with any of the characters on the pages. It felt very repetitive after a while.
