The focus moves from fear and being scared of monsters to cooperation and collaboration between Grover, little Elmo, and the child reader, who helps Elmo get to the end of the book by turning the pages, solving a little game or overcoming Grover's strategies to lock the book. Features like word highlighting, repetition and questions that address the reader support reading, understanding and speaking skills.
