For all but the first chapter there is an introductory paragraph for adults to read. This paragraph gives the title and describes what the section is about. An example title would be: Big Bird Cleans.

THIS WOULD be a good book to bring home early for children who like Sesame Street. It could first be used as a read-aloud and adults can point to colors and use objects to count. In that pre-reader stage, this book could then be used as practice, as children pretend to read, running their finger over the lines and using their memory. And then finally, if they are still interested, they can actually read it. ( )
