Title: The first is definitely the classic, but this is equally wonderful!
Review: I can understand some reviewers being sad at yet another re-written classic that didn't need to be....but really this is not a bad book! Its is just as fun as the first one, especially when Grover & Elmo get to the last page, anticipating a monster and scare each other half to death....kids LOVE how they scream "AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!" at the shock of seeing one another. So yeah, even though I usually don't like remakes & sequels, especially concerning things that were near and dear to me as a child (as the original was), and while I also got tired of the whole Elmo craze and preferred the original Sesame Street characters, I still have a great love for this book & would encourage anyone and everyone to get it. If your child loves the first one, they are all the more invested in finding out what happens in the next one, and isn't the point to get them to love reading anyway?
