Personal Review: Can You Tell Me How to Get to Sesame
Street? (Beginner Books(R)) by Eleanor Hudson
If you are like me, you'll be humming the theme song of Sesame Street to
yourself as you read this book. The book provides a remarkable set of
images about finding Sesame Street that will be conjured up every time
you hear the theme song. The story provides great support for the fun of
books, and trusting to your purpose despite apparent hurdles to overcome.
As such, it will be an important contribution to your library of beginning
reader books. The book's fine illustrations help reinforce the words in the
story, to make learning to read easier, and to make the story more fun to
read. The book opens with Elmo surrounded by books. "Elmo likes
books.""Fat books. Funny books. Bat books. Bunny books. Bear-in-the-
chair books. Kite-in-the-air books."With this beginning, the story quickly
takes Elmo on a wonderful kite adventure. I liked this approach very much
because it shows how books can be the launching pad for many
interesting thoughts and experiences. Further, you can use your
imagination to build on what's in the books. The bulk of the story then
involves what happens when Elmo's kite pulls him off the ground and into
the air. How will he get back to Sesame Street? By suggesting that this
could be a pretend adventure, it also takes the potential fright out of the
story for many children. If your child is easily upset by danger, you may
want to wait until she or he can be more objective before introducing this
story.In the course of the adventure, many strange and unexpected things
occur. But Elmo is always flexible and imaginative. As a result, the results
of challenges turn out well. You can use this story as a metaphor for how
life tends to be in talking with your child. We all have to realize that the
unexpected is usually just around the corner. After you have read the
book several times, encourage your child to read the repeated words like
"books" aloud when they appear. This will help with decoding words and
letters. Like many excellent beginning readers, this book features lots of
that valuable repetition. There are a number of situations where only one
letter is different (as in "there" and "where"). When your child is ready,

help him or her to differentiate between them and to then read the two
aloud to you when they appear in the story. Build reading skill
through repetition within the context of an interesting and entertaining story
like this one!
