In Food!, Cookie Monster discusses his favorite grub. In 1, 2, 3, Elmo invites readers to count to ten with him; a familiar object represents each number. The text is sometimes hard to read and the best jokes aren't intended for kids (Elmo's favorite books about numbers include Fahrenheit 451,) but they'll love spotting the Sesame Street characters in the childlike illustrations, ostensibly drawn by Cookie and Elmo. [Review covers these titles: Food! by Cookie Monster and 1, 2, 3 by Elmo.]
