Such a cute story for parents and children alike. The illustrations are bright and beautiful! There are lots of wonderful messages such as taking care of ourselves, our friends and family and our planet. I also really enjoyed all of the positive self talk for all of the children.

This book serves as an excellent resource for teaching children the importance of self-care and caring for others. It is filled with valuable lessons and practical tips on how we can support ourselves, our friends and family.

Elmo, my two year old's favorite character from Sesame Street, adds a delightful touch to the experience. The vibrant cover, engaging illustrations, and charming characters make it appealing for young readers.

Additionally, the book offers insightful information on recycling and nurturing growth, emphasizing various ways we can contribute positively to our surroundings. It's a wonderful way to inspire kids to make a difference in their world.

Thank you NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Kids | Sourcebooks Wonderland for allowing me to give my honest review.

Is there ever a bad Sesame Workshop book? No! This book "I love to Watch you grow "is fantastic and easy to read.
Follows all the characters and all the ways they grow each and every day. Then at the end there are a few pages called Help the world grow and ways you can make a difference with some fun ideas.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc.

My 3yo loves Elmo and all the Sesame Street characters, so this book was a hit! It was a cute spin on earth-conscious books, focusing primarily on the love for a child and then later on tying it to love for the planet. I thought it was cute and well done.

Very cute book with the classic Sesame Street characters! I enjoyed the rhyming texts and metaphor of plants/flowers growing just like children. The notes at the end about the importance of sustainability and how to practice it were also a nice
bonus!

Elmo has always been a fan favorite around my house. Even from way back when my oldest daughter was still a preschooler. She’s 21 now and not as interested but she does enjoy reading her little brother. Nostalgic books like this.
The book has the usual bright Sesame Street illustrations. It’s written in rhyming prose which I think took a bit away from the way it just skimmed over lessons. Perhaps having some actual dialogue about why they are doing the things would make it feel more educational . Either way it’s a good stepping stone for parents to start discussing ways kids grow and help other people and things to grow too.

This is the perfect children’s book to not only impower your child the importance of staying true to you, but to share compassion and kindness with others. I love that the illustrations focus on what we can do to sustain our planet too

I love elmo and was happy to be able to share a book with elmo with my son. He enjoyed having it read to him. I highly recommend to other parents to read to thier little ones, and to add to thier little ones book collection.

Okay, first let me say I love Elmo almost as much as my four year old Grandson, but "I Love to Watch You Grow!" takes it to a new level. Each page bursts with positivity, and the prose is beautiful, and the illustrations of the Sesame Street characters are bright and cheerful. This book is perfect for kids 4-7. Younger kids will enjoy it too, (although they probably won't really understand it). I especially liked the last two pages at the end of the book that teach sustainability, and small steps families can take that together will make a big difference. I think it helps empower them.

Such a sweet book for a caregiver and child to sit and read together!! I sat down and read this with my 4 year-old and it was such a wonderful story, full of colorful photos of beloved Sesame Street characters and writing that made for a lovely snuggly storytime together. The rhymes of each page had a fantastic flow, and the idea of watching things grow was just beautiful.

Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Kids for the digital ARC of this book - I will absolutely be buying this for my family and recommending to families in my library!

In “I Love to Watch You Grow!” families will follow their favorite Sesame Street characters and their families in a sweet, rhyming story of the love we have for our kids.

I loved everything about this book! The actual story is super sweet and fun to read and listen to, the artwork is gorgeous and perhaps most importantly, all our favorite current characters are represented along with their families! My kids are huge twiddle bug fans and we were all really excited to see them here too!

“I Love to Watch You Grow!” is sure to be a classic and is a great choice for any Sesame fans!
