My Growing-Up Library: Sesame Street Board Books- Too Big for Diapers / Big Enough for a Bed / Too Big for Bottles / Big Enough for a Bike

While my husband isn't a fan of Elmo's voice, and therefor has negative connotations with Elmo himself, we ALL love this set of books. The pictures totally fascinate my 10-month-old and have for the past 3 months since Christmas, and my 30-month-old reads them all every day plus loves pulling them out of the little box and putting them away neatly with the velcro closure on the lid half of the entertainment value for him. Ahhh velcro. :) Too Big for Diapers - the book and my son both comment that Ernie used too much paper! Uses a potty chair, which is how we started with our son before graduating to the potty seat on the toilet. Big enough for a Bed - simple and straight forward, shows involvement with the child choosing the sheets and how easy it is to sleep with a teddy. Too Big for Bottles - I love that Baby Cookie spills a cup of milk - it's OK for them to make a mess, it's part of learning, and it's great to see it in a book. Big Enough for a Bike - well, we went right to a bike with training wheels since they're so high quality these days, and Zoe learns to ride a tricycle even though the books says "bike" so that surprised me, but the story is great overall. Keep trying!

My daughter is just about to turn 2 and is obviously obessesed with elmo and the whole sesame street gang. She is starting to become interested in the potty, a big girl bed, and her tricycle. She likes the idea of sitting on the potty but when it actually comes time she is afraid and i believe the potty book helps her relax. We are not quite at the big girl bed stage yet but we have purchased a bed and she likes to read the book. We just started riding our bike outside since spring has sprung and the bike book has made her LOOOOOVE her new helmet. Now i will say one downside to this set is that the books are rather short and very similar in structure so there is not much variation. However, I think that is why my daughter likes them, they keep her attention, and thankfully she loves to read. Also, she really enjoys just playing with the box the set comes in. She likes to take the books out and put little toys in there and carry it around like a purse. Overall, thumbs up!!

My son is just shy of 2 1/2 and he loves all of these books. I love them because they teach him something. Hopefully they warm him up to the idea of the potty and a big bed etc. (None of which he is using just yet) My son loves the characters and the box. What's better than books in a box you can open and close? Nothing. Books are also sturdy and tear-proof.

My toddler loves these board books. They are short and practical. I sometimes add a little of my own dialogue to point out certain things. For example, I point out to my toddler that Elmo goes to sleep on his own without his mom or dad in the room. I also point out that Ernie stops playing to use the potty. My toddler doesn't have a bike yet so she doesn't fully understand the book about riding your own bike but other books she can relate to. ;)

My daughter just turned 2 and she got her very own real bed. We were going to buy the "Big Enough for a Bed" book on its own, but then I realized we could get the set for only a little more. My only real complaints are that the books are too short (the entire collection has less words than this review will likely have), each of the four stories are written very similarly so there is not much variation, and I'm not sure how common it is for a child to be going through each of these four milestones at the same time. Too Big for Diapers she really enjoys, and it is helpful as she begins potty training. Big Enough for a Bed is the reason we bought the book and she always prefers that we read the other books instead. Too Big for Bottles I am not sure is age-appropriate for us. She stopped the bottle at about 11 months and like her 8 month-old brother, began the journey of sippy cup transition before I think she was old enough to really understand and enjoy the concepts. Big Enough for a Bike she also really enjoys, although as another reviewer pointed out, she actually gets a trike. The colors are bright, the stories are easy to follow and it is a nice boxed set for not very much money. Despite my minor complaints, I would still recommend this for anyone with children going through some of these milestones.

Very simple books with real pictures of Elmo and friends. For such simple books they've been a very big hit with our 18 month old! I would highly suggest these books for anyone looking to transition off of bottles, into a big bed, potty train or ride a bike.

Excellent group of growing up books: the big bed, potty training, brushing your teeth, having new experiences. Our child kept looking at the pictures and we would read and talk more. An excellent selection of books and childhood experiences.

My toddler loves these books. They are very short and right to the point, so they aren’t great for teaching about new beds or the potty, but overall they are quick reads. If you’re strapped for time trying to get your toddler to bed and don’t want to read a more in debt book, these are the way to go.

Good book for 1.5 to 2 year olds who are going thru this phase. Toddler left bottle, tries tricycling.. only potty training not yet initiated😂

E' una carinissima valigetta che contiene 4 libri in cartone. Uno con Elmo, uno con il Cookie Monster, uno con Zoe e l'altro con Earnie. E' un bel cartone robusto, adatto anche ai bimbi piccina e mia figlia di 2 anni li adora. Guarda le figure e le indica ridendo. Tutti e 4 sono in inglese. Davvero belli sono molto soddisfatta dell'acquisto. Per i bimbi che amano Sesame Street un must. Consegna avvenuta dopo 1000 peripezie a causa del corriere incaricato ma il servizio clienti Amazon ha risolto tutto ed in fretta. Sempre un passo avanti rispetto a tutti. Bravi!

Nice books collection

Excellent

My granddaughter is 2yr 10 months and she loves the books.
