A seek-and-find rhyming picture book that has little ones searching for colors, shapes and more. Readers who are acquainted with Sesame Street will appreciate seeing their favorite characters in their familiar settings.

The cover of the edition I read featured Ernie and Bert... I really love the illustrations.. they bring me lots of comfort.. and the pages feel nice too... such a big contrast to today's digitized art with heavily glossy pages.

Ebook was poorly executed, and the I-spys didn’t really make sense.

My Review: This is a great book for those beginning readers, lots of simple words and familiar characters make it easy. The pictures were great and help lead the reading as well. Munchkin is already interested in this book and he isn't even close to reading age yet.

I learned a new character name! It's been over 30 years since I watched Sesame Street on a daily basis so I only know the lead characters so learning a supporting character name was rather exciting. Other than that it's just an "I Spy" story with Elmo on the cover.

Pretty cute, and it keeps little ones on their toes.

While all about our favorite characters, the kids didn't seem to enjoy the format.

[Ame · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hilarious and requires observant, sarcastic children.
