You may have heard that Elmo got quite a response this week when he asked his followers on X how they were doing! NPR reported that his viral wellness check got 180 million views on the social media platform alone by Wednesday afternoon. His feed shows such a wide variety of feedback, it’s clear that the question brought up a lot of emotions from his friends there.
We love Elmo for checking in on his friends all across the world. In tribute to this sweet gesture of caretaking, we thought we’d share three heartwarming books about fun and friendship from Elmo and Sesame Street.
See below for our book recommendations, and check this link for some tips on ELMOtional Wellbeing.
Sesame Street: Furry Friends Forever
Elmo’s kindness and care don’t just extend to his followers on social media. When he and Grover find a puppy who needs a home, they help her find one! Share the story of Elmo and Tango with someone you care about with this charming touch-and-feel board book.
Sesame Street: Friends to Count On
Elmo may have reminded us this week what a good friend he is, but here’s a book that gives us another example. Here he brings all of his Sesame Street friends together to help little ones learn to count. With Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and so many other favorites pitching in, learning is an adventure. And the included CarryAlong® Projector makes them all shine!
Sesame Street: That’s What Friends Are For
Elmo and his friends keep shining in this Movie Theater Storybook & Movie Projector, which lets kids display images on the wall as they read. Elmo rides a scooter, learns to share, and enjoys playtime with his friends in five sweet stories.
