Critic Reviews

“"Sesame Street characters take readers to meet new friends from around the world in this series. Each title starts with an introduction to caregivers and teachers, followed by a Sesame Street character greeting readers in the native language(s) of the varying countries. Short paragraphs are paired with colorful photographs to describe life in each location, like celebrating carnival in Brazil in Welcome to Brazil with Sesame Street. Infographics include facts or speech bubbles, along with maps to indicate where the country is in the world. Each title expresses the importance of relationships people have with family members and community and shows a popular group activity. There is also a 'fast facts' section, glossary, how to learn more, and index at the end. VERDICT An appropriate introduction to other countries for young readers that could be read aloud."--School Library Journal”
