Sesame Street! What's not to like?

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I never thought my son would like Sesame Street books so much, since he's never actually seen a whole show. But his nickname is Bert and he will bring this book up to us to read. Any book my son will physically carry around has just received the height of his literary praise. Worth checking out.
