Leap into reading with Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird, and friends. Your little budding reader will love taking that first step from being read to, to reading on her or his own, with this Sesame Street electronic Me Reader Story Reader and eight hardcover book boxed set. Choose a book, press the matching book and page buttons on the module, and hear the whole story, along with fun and surprising sounds. Charming narration, fun sound effects, playful music, and illustrated stories featuring your favorite Sesame Street characters teach early learning concepts like counting, colors, seasons, and shapes and bring them to life. For pre-readers, associating words with pictures and sounds builds sight-word recognition, and for children on the verge of independent reading, " books that read themselves" enable them to listen to a story, follow along in the book, and actively participate in the story . . . all on their own. The perfect gift for parents looking to spark and nourish that first step into reading, and a fun way to inspire your child's growth and imagination, pick up a set and embark on your own learning adventure. • Box: 8" x 9.25" x 3" with handle• Books: 6.6" x 7.9" • Module: 4.4" x 5.85" x .7" • 8 hardcover books, 24 paper pages per book• 18 sound buttons: 8 book ID and 10 spread ID• 8 LEDs• 3 replaceable AAA batteries included
