5/5This game is so nostalgic!
I remember playing this game when I was 2 or something, and I rediscovered it while I was looking at my previously purchased items, I could still redownload it, so that’s what it did! And it’s just as fun as back then! So if your a parent who wants a fun app for your children, download this app now! Or if you really love Sesame Street!

5/5Classic book is now animated and interactive
When I was a kid, I loved this book. Now the child in my life is captivated by the story as well, only his experience is enhanced with animation and sound effects! Thank you so much for updating this app to work with iOS 11. I'm glad we can continue to enjoy it together.

5/5Good app because it’s free
Hey I had this app before and it helps you to be brave so please do download this game and it will really be a great app for your kids and friends.

5/5The monster at the end of this book
These apps are not updated and don’t work. Was a five now should have no stars. Updated and working again. Looking forward to sharing this with my students again.

5/5One of the absolute best
A total classic, and the app ran with the magic of the book and is a classic itself! So many hidden gems. Any time I visit my nieces and nephews kids are climbing over me to play/read, and my infant absolutely loves it! For the person who said it needs more interaction, it doesn’t. Like the book, the story is well done it doesn’t need “bells and whistles.” It stands so strong on its own. Please don’t try to “improve” it and ruin it like “Elmo’s potty time” was ruined recently! Just update for compatibility and let perfection be!
