Customer Reviews:

One of the all time best kids' books!.......2007-09-28

Both my husband and I loved this book as children, and now our son does too! It drags the child into the action of the story, and they love doing what Grover asks them not to. I have not yet met the child who didn't enjoy it.

Exactly what I was looking for.......2007-09-16

I was very pleased with my purchase. It was exactly what I wanted and in the condition I expected.

Loved it!.......2007-09-10

Just like I remember! A classic, adorable story. I was so glad to find it so that my son can read it.

GREAT BOOK.......2007-09-04

This is such a cute little story - such a fun book to read as it has many opportunities to add character in your voice fluctuation. It is smaller in size so it travels easily. This was one of my favorites as a child.

Cute!.......2007-09-03

I have loved this book ever since I read it to my oldest son (who's now 16) and I recently re-purchased it for my one year old and one of my nephews. They both love this book as much as I do. It's an adorable little story!

Customer Reviews:

Typical sequel.......2007-09-16

This book was fine for the price; however, it didn't surprise me that the sequel was not as good as the original! Had I been able to read this book prior to purchasing it, I would not have purchased it.

Very Cute.......2007-09-10

This is a cute follow up on the original. But almost too similar. Not a must have, but cute.

This book is awful!.......2007-04-25

The original monster at the end of this book was one of my favorites as a child and my 14 month old son loves it too, so when I saw this book I was excited to get it. It is so bad I can't even read it to my son. They try to copy the original, but they tried to hard. Adding Elmo doesn't help. I was very disappointed with the book. Stick with the original.The Monster at the End of This Book (Big Bird's Favorites Brd Bks)

My kids loved this book!.......2007-01-12

My 2 yr. old loves for me to read this to him! Both of my children like any book with Grover in it, so this was a sure winner.

Another Monster At The End Of This Book.......2006-12-11

This is a fun, interactive book featuring the two loveable monsters from Sesame Street Grover and Elmo. The book begins by stating that there is another monster at the end of the book. Elmo is excited of the thought of meeting another monster at the end of the book, but Grover however has other ideas. He thinks that the monster could be scary, big and mean. As the book progresses Elmo is convincing the reader to turn the page while Grover is doing else wise. He sets up animated blocks that trys to convince you not to turn the page such as a castle made of blocks and he even goes to such extremes as a heavy metal blockade. Grover is finally convinced to take a peak and then run and as you turn the last page the "other monster" ends up being themselves. Elmo is the other monster to Grover and Grover is the other monster to Elmo. Kids will be entertained by this book because of the fact that the characters talk and interact with them.

Customer Reviews:

Little use for the serious birder.......2007-05-07

I found this book to be of little use to anyone other than those just beginning to be interested in birding. Many of the chapters could be combined into simply a chapter entitled how to attract birds. Many are repeates. This book is also seriously lacking in usable pictures of many of the birds that it discusses.

Bird-by-Bird Gardening.......2006-12-07

I just started reading Sally's book, one of which I should have written myself, but am delighted in the way she has designed this topic. As a person with a forestry background, I have long advocated that the birds represent the plant community, however indirectly. That said, once one gets the needs of a particular species, which has been well brought about by the endangered species advocates, then a landowner can tailor approaches with managing property in order to attract those birds. Other wildlife is benefitted, too, but we do concentrate on birdlife. So, this a two pronged effort: pay attention to the plant associations, and then realize the wildlife management aspects resulting. Each of us can be an earth citizen, making a vital contribution on one's own land. I have a radio show and weekly newspaper column here in NH, "COUNTRY ECOLOGY" where I pursue these ecological profiles and whatever one can do to make things prosper. I formerly built over 11,000 bark-faced natural birdhouses during 14 years in that business, and was on the board of directors for NABS. I take care of two UNH natural areas on Squam Lake, where "On Golden Pond" was filmed years ago.

Great for Newbies.......2007-06-08

This is a great beginners book. It lacks some types of birds, for pros, but for backyard bird lovers like me, it's perfect. I love the tips and heads up on how to train, feed and attact all types of birds in my area. It even has a page on building a birdhouse!! Lots of homemade treats to give you feathered friends a big smile...LOVE IT!! JK

Informative.......2007-02-16

I like this book. I'm a new bird watcher and this book has many good hints.

Excellent for gardners and bird watchers........2007-01-11

This book is worth its weight in gold. It is loaded with tips on gardening and attracting birds. Good for novice and old timers. Once can never know enough and new ideas are always welcome.

Fantastic book for beginners!.......2006-04-22

I just bought a home in the winter and have since become VERY interested not only in the birds that inhabit the woods in my back yard, but in attracting more birds through the use of feeders, baths, and gardening techniques. I picked this book up on a whim in Cracker Barrel and I'm SO glad I did! This publication offers great pictures and diagrams, specific (both complicated and extremely easy) garden designs for attracting birds, tips for providing nutrition for your visiting birds on a seasonal basis, notes on habitats and flight patterns, even tips for keeping the little guys & gals from bashing into sliding doors and large windows! Ms. Roth also offers personal and very interesting anecdotes from people in all stages of gardening/birding.

Roth's Book would make a fantastic gift for a beginning or avid gardener/birder of nearly any age! If you live at home, close home, or if you call your Mom every day to tell her about your birdie friends, as I do, consider giving this book to Mom as a "something we can enjoy together" gift!

Have fun!

YOU CAN TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS!.......2006-02-06

I have been birding for well over 40 years now, have literally hundreds of books on the subject and spend a great deal of time in pursuit of this wonderful hobby. I am also an avid gardener and maintain a very bird friendly acreage. I recently purchased this book and I have to admit, right from the start, I actually learned things I did not know, got great ideas and had a wonderful time reading to boot. What more could you want. Ms. Roth has given us some wonderful illustrations and a text which is enjoyable, humerous and easy to follow. I am absolutely delighted to have added this one to my collection. The book is useful for anyone interesting in birds, nature, gardening or the simple pleasure of reading a good, well researched book. Recommend this one highly.

Book Description

Everyone loves something—it’s true! Elmo explains how each person has something special they care about. For example, babies love noise and kids love toys; Bert loves pigeons and pigeons love to coo, and so on. At several points the lively rhyming text breaks for a moment to remind young readers that “Elmo loves you!” This is a natural for Valentine’s Day and a sweet, reassuring poem about love that kids will enjoy year round.

Too cute.......2007-09-26

I actually got this book as one of my Pampers rewards, but am now purchasing it for friends. My 5-month old loves this book and everytime we get to the part where it says "Elmo loves you", she gets a little squeeze from mom.

The rhymes are perfect for using momease and the pictures provide ample ideas for additional commentary when she grabs the book and won't let me turn the page.

elmo loves you book.......2007-09-23

My little boy loves this book. It is small and great to pack around in his diaper bag.

Who doesn't love Elmo?.......2007-09-12

My 11.5 month old daughter has had this book for several months now and she loves "reading" it by herself, turning the pages and looking at all the pictures. It is a perfect size for her little hands. When she gets older maybe she'll let me read it to her, but for now she wants it all to herself.

My son's first literary obsession.......2007-09-11

My son read this board book until it fell apart (and that takes some doing) and we had to get another. It's more fun to read aloud than some books for infants/toddlers.

O.K. Nothing great here........2007-07-30

Our 16 month old, who loves Elmo, doesn't like this book too much. It's just o.k.

One spring day, Elmo discovers a nestful of hatching eggs. The newborn ducklings think that Elmo is their mother, and when Elmo goes in search of the mother duck, the babies follow him all over town. When they find their real mother, the ducklings aren’t sure what to do until Elmo cleverly solves the problem. Here’s a humorous story with a gentle lesson about creative problem-solving.

Such a cute book and given my son loves ducks this is a HUGE hit with him....it gives him another opportunity to sit with me and quack at every duck he sees in the book. The story is adorable!

Another great elmo book.......2005-10-12

What can I say? My son loves elmo and he loves this book.

This book is great.......2005-08-23

My daughter got this as a gift when she turned 1. She's now 19 months old. The story is a little long for her (there's a block of text on each page instead of a sentence or two), but she still loves the book. She turns the pages so fast I've had to abridge the story, but overall, she loves the storyline, especially when I read "make way for Elmo and his duckies." Sometimes she'll have me read the story while she plays with something else, but if I stop reading, she'll get upset so at least I know she's lisening.

What I like about the book is that it's a fairly small board book so it's easy for small children to hold and it's great to travel with. The story is cute with a few of the Sesame Sreet characters making appearances (Big Bird and Zoe). It's also one of the few board books that actually has a real story to it. Definitely a book for an Elmo fan.

Our Boy loves Elmo's Ducky Day.......2002-01-02

Our son, 21 months, loves this book. From the day we brought it home he has to read it almost every night. He really gets a kick out of the little duck knocking over the pepper in the pizza parlor and another one tearing open the bread crumbs in the supermarket. It's a little harder level for him at his age but he understands much of the book and talks about the things that happen in the story. If your kid loves Elmo and the gang, this one is great.
