PreS-Gr 2—Our favorite Sesame Street characters help young readers understand SEL topics. While each title features a well-known character on the cover, several Sesame Street friends make appearances throughout. Titles use a combination of text and images to help kids understand the content. The Count, Grover, and plenty of others reinforce the information by asking questions, sharing affirmations, and adding their own thoughts on the subject. For example, Do Your Part with Grover defines responsibility and explains how to be responsible by being a good helper, cleaning up after yourself, and helping your community. These are accompanied by examples of responsibility in action—kids brushing their teeth, recycling, and folding the laundry. The bright pages are filled with joyful images and thought bubbles asking for readers' input. Each book ends with an activity, glossary, and further reading. VERDICT This series takes vague concepts and makes them concrete for young children. Recommended for SEL collections.
