Big Bird's Big Book

This oversized Giant board book — a full 16 by 24 inches — is designed to stop a toddler in their tracks, and it works. Six colorful panoramic scenes featuring Big Bird and the full Sesame Street cast cover counting, colors, opposites, and other early learning staples, all rendered in Joe Mathieu's classic illustrations packed with details little ones love to point out and revisit. The Sesame Street brand guarantees age-appropriate, inclusive content, and the durable board format handles the wear toddlers dish out. The honest limits are what you'd expect: this is a concept book, not a story, and once a child grows past the preschool stage there's not much left to come back to. As a gift for babies and toddlers, though, it's a reliable, visually delightful choice.
