It was either going to scare the hell out of her or she'd love it to bits. Well we all loved it, so funny and will definitely bring a smile and laughter to your little un. Plus yourself!

It's easy to use, the kids will have loads of fun!

Only things negative - If you ever heard that this thing is a little on the noisy side. The motors are! Very noisy! But the speech does tend to drown out the noise!

In my opinion, everyone should have one.

I received the one for my daughter Lily and placed another order straight away after giving it to my little Lily. The next one is for my 2 and half year old Niece.

Go get one!

The electric motors that bring Elmo to life are about as loud as his voice so it's sometimes hard to hear what he's saying. He repeats stories and jokes quite a lot and relies on your child making sure Elmo's stool is behind him so he doesn't call over when he tries to sit down.

He's not at all cuddley so don't think he's as good as a stuffed toy. You can feel a solid skeleton underneath his thin skin of fur. He has a button on his tummy and back so can sense if your child is hugging him. I suppose he's good value given what he does but the noisy motors ruin the magic.

My partner bought me one of these for my xmas gift, hes brilliant. Got him for the bargain price of £33.95. My partner has hid him so I can't try him out :-( but I'm sure hes as good as the advert. Can't wait till Xmas.
