Customer Reviews

Wonderful story on many levels -- artwork amazing

I've been so disappointed in many character books. This one far supercedes my expectations. It tells a story that is obvious from the title. Yet it acknowledges on every turn of the page what a child goes through when having a babysitter -- wanting mom and dad to be home. Emily, the babysitter, handles each step with realistic grace, easing Elmo's fears. My 15-month old wants to read it again and again, and I don't mind at all. The illustrations alone keep me interested. And for [item price], I'm buying up copies for all our kid friends. Enjoy!
