Book excerpt: Growing up is extra special with stories that come to life as they are read aloud by Nina from Sesame Street! Little ones will love reading about milestones like using the potty, sleeping in a big bed, the first day of school, and more. 8 illustrated board books featuring Elmo and his Sesame friends come with a Me Reader Jr module that reads each book aloud at the touch of a button, with charming narration, fun sounds, and songs. Following along in the book while listening to the narration is an important first step toward independent reading.
