Elmo

He's the high-spirited 3½-year-old red furry monster we love, and has been a regular on Sesame Street since 1984.

Big Bird may be taller and Grover may be funnier, but nobody beats Elmo for pure, unadulterated cuteness. More than anything, Elmo always finds a way to show the good side of whatever situation he's in. He likes to give love, his best friends are Grover and Zoe and he likes everything, including doing whatever Bert and Ernie can do. He dislikes brussel sprouts but he LOVES Mr Rove. Elmo our favourite furry friend is back for a visit. It's been nearly a year since we saw him in New York and there's so much to catch up on, including what's happening on the street (Sesame, that is).
