Elmo's Balls Book

2007-12-30
My 2-year old granddaughter LOVES Elmo! And this book is fun for her because it is so colorful - plus, she loves the little 'doors' that she can open to can see what waits behind! A wonderful - and inexpensive - gift for a small child! (There are other books in this series as well!)

Balls, Balls, and more Balls

One of my grandson's first words was "ball" and then "backet ball" (basket ball). If it is round, rolls, and hopefully bounces, he loves it!! I bought this book for him for this Christmas and although he hasn't seen it yet, I know he is going to love it, especially because of the flaps that he can lift! Great book!! (For all ages).

18 month old boy loves the book

He really likes the book - but be careful that you don't let toddlers tear out the tabs.

An Okay Book that My Son Ripped to Shreds...

2007-05-08
This book is fragile and my son destroyed it almost immediately after purchasing it. Overall the photography and theme is okay, but if you are dealing with curious, active hands, then you need to expect this book to be in the trash within a week - unless you insist on always handling it yourself.

Flimsy flaps

The books itself is colorful and exciting to my son, but not very durable. I've already done a fair amount if taping and we hven't had it very long.

For the Little Ball LOVER

Boing! Boing! Elmo is having a ball! Peek underneath the big flaps to find bouncy balls of different sizes and shapes. Then watch Elmo dunk a basketball--and himself!

Balls!

My 16-month old would not sit still to read a book. I have been trying for months. I have to turn the pages very quickly and talk about the pictures so that we can complete them. Once I showed him this book last week, he will sit and let me read the whole thing and then he likes to go back and re-read all of the pages and point to the balls for me to identify them.
The flaps are a bit flimsy for his age-group. But, if I help him, I know that they won't tear or bend.

Decent book for Elmo lovers

We've learned the names of all the balls with this book. It's a good one with a "door" to open on each page. Not too busy and a good quick read.

Durability is a problem

My toddler daughter has loved other books more intensely than this one so I was surprised when this one started coming apart in a few days.

First the flaps all ripped off. Then the cardboard pages came loose from the binding. I tried salvaging the pages for her to use to make stacks or just to gather up and put into drawers, etc. since she likes Elmo. Then the paper started peeling away from the cardboard. By that point, it was just garbage.

I've had similar problems with the construction of other Sesame Street board books, especially very small ones (usually seasonal, like Halloween books). I've never had a Sesame Street board book last more than a couple of months. None of my daughter's other board books have fallen apart like these so I know it's not her treatment.

The content is fun and the photos are a nice change from pen-and-ink illustrations but what good is a book that practically disintegrates in a month or two?

My daughter LOVES this book!

We have four Elmo's World books and this one is my 17 month old daughter's absolute favorite. Night after night she will pick this book for me to read to her. It is a really simple book with nice, clear pictures. We have read this countless times and yet she continues to love it. Highly recommended!
