So what makes this Elmo Live toy so fun?  First off he's very talented and sings 3 special Sesame Street songs - including the classics "Elmo's World" & "Sunny Days".  This version of Elmo is also very ticklish and silly.  When kids squeeze his nose, he'll say a funny phrase or make a silly sound!

The Fisher Price Elmo Live Encore is also highly interactive.  Kids can squeeze his foot, tummy, or back to make him come to life.  He'll give kids jokes, a story, a song or even ask them to try some challenging tongue twisters.  Additionally he comes with a chair, which he'll sit down in to tell a story.  As he talks his mouth opens and closes, plus his head bobbles and arms wave.  If Elmo falls over at any point during his sillyness, he'll even ask kids to help him back up. 

Elmo's also loving, because he'll ask for hugs quite a bit.  Kids will be very entertained, amused and learn skills thanks to this new Elmo Live Encore toy!
