In a truly original interactive experience, young players join Cookie Monster, Elmo and other Sesame Street characters as they explore a living storybook titled Once Upon a Monster. In the book, they make new zany monster friends from the Once Upon a Monster world and share in their adventures, solving problems, forging friendships and learning key life skills along the way. Parents and children literally become part of the whimsical storybook adventure by getting active together through dancing, jumping, flying and more.

Parents get a reliable digital babysitter. There might be a bit of Elmo-overload going on, though other favorites like Oscar and Grover show up to provide sly winks to the older folks

And finally, G is the first letter in "great," a good word to describe this child-focused game. Kids will find its colorful presentation and easy controls appealing, and thanks to all the charm of Sesame Street and the new monsters you meet, gaming parents or caregivers won't find it a chore to play through Once Upon a Monster with their junior gamers.

If you’re a parent whose kids already know their ABCs, Double Fine’s game is a fantastic way to reinforce often-neglected (but critically important) skills like empathy, responsibility, and friendship. Plus, you can make Grover flap his stringy little blue arms like nobody’s business.
