Reviews of the book are overwhelmingly positive, with reviews such as:

“I highly recommend this book to families of young children. I also think teachers of young children should have this in their library right now and be reading it to their students.” ― NAPPA (National Parenting Product Awards

and

“This book is cute and simple. I like that it addresses helpful hints and information of things we need to follow face masks, distance and hand washing. I’m a nurse handling covid patients and a mom of a toddler. I love it and fact it is Sesame Street as well kids listen more. Also I highly recommend the book Stay Healthy with Sesame Street Understanding Coronavirus. That book is more for the older toddler/preschool age since it it more facts and information in a language kids understand.”
