**My thoughts**
I have been a fan of Sesame Street since I was a young kid many, many, many years ago. And while I was growing up, Big Bird was my favorite. So of course, I was drawn to this book.
My dear sweet friend is having a very rough day. Nothing is going right for him and he is just super down in the dumps. Elmo stops by and tries to help Big Bird feel better. They go around town and visit their friends to find out what they all do to stop feeling so blue. It's fun to see what all of their answers are!
If you're a fan of the Sesame Street characters, you're going to enjoy this book. They are always a lot of fun and I think it helps kids to see familiar characters going through the same feelings and situations that they are going through. You can use it as a springboard to talk about feelings and what you can do to make yourself feel better.
The illustrations are filled with all of those favorite Sesame Street characters and are filled with lots of joy, especially as Big Bird's day starts to turn around. I have to say that I am so used to reading the older books that these modern pictures threw me a little bit, especially of Big Bird. He looks different than what I'm used to. But the more that I page through this book, the more I am getting used to it. I know that it's just the style of this particular illustrator, who of course is not the same as the ones from 35 years ago.
Overall, I gave this book 4 stars. It would make a cute addition to your children's book library.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
