A Random House/Sesame Street collaboration about being the smallest in the group. Elmo is disappointed as he has to continually yell, "Wait for me." He has a hard time keeping up with his older friends. And when they take off on a bike ride that he's too small to accompany them on, he's disappointed. An elderly gentleman takes pity on Elmo's sad face and invites him to go to the zoo with him, explaining that sometimes it's nice to take your time and enjoy your day listening to the street bands and feeding the elephants. Elmo's friend returns from his ride and, upon hearing about Elmo's day, tells them that the next time he'd like them to, "Wait for me." The artwork is pencil renditions of the characters from the Sesame Street TV series on PBS.
Merit: A good lesson of encouragement for small kids.
Share: Read-to. Story time.
Appeal: Familiar characters suffering familiar frustrations and a nice possible "slow down & smell the roses" solution.
