On wandering through John Lewis today I got my first peek at Elmo Live from Mattel. We are big fans of Elmo having had one of the 10th Anniversary Tickle Me Elmo's a couple of years ago that really made us giggle. This is Mattel's updated version.  As Elmo laughs, tells stories and jokes, his mouth opens and closes and his head nods.  He also waves his hands and feet, and sits up and down from a little blue stool.

For Sesame Street Lovers everywhere and kids big and small, the Elmo Live is available from John Lewis for £59.95.

Whilst we don't always agree with the Dream Toys predictions, this is one Dream Toy we would also put on our Top 12.
