My First Book About Airplanes and Rockets by Karma Einhorn - NO

Sesame Subjects: My First Book About Airplanes and Rockets by Karma Einhorn, illustrated by Christopher Moroney. Random House, 2008. PICTURE BOOK.

EL (K-3) - NOT RECOMMENDED

In this latest entry to the Sesame Subjects library, Grover and Elmo tell kids about all kinds of airplanes and rockets. The book is filled with terrific photos, simple facts, and Sesame Street characters. The information is above the interest level of toddlers and preschoolers and the Sesame Street characters are too young for elementary age children. I'm not sure who the audience for this book would be.
