Reviews

[Samantha · Rating 3 out of 5]

A lift-the-flap book in which rhyming clues describe different Sesame Street characters. Clues are perfectly aimed at the audience. Flaps are sturdier than the usual fare.

Recommended for Toddlers and PreK.

My toddler loves this because it is Sesame Street but it is much too short--playing guess who with a couple more characters would have made it better. My toddler is not ready for the game to be over when we reach the end.

I designed this book. Novelty is fold-out pages that reveal who the hidden character is, hence the title "Guess Who."

A great book for guessing! Kids love to guess what's coming next or what's under the tabs. This would be a great resource for teaching the kids to thing ahead.
