Elmo Says, "Don't Wake the Baby!" is a 1997 Sesame Street storybook featuring Elmo and Natasha.
Ingrid asks Elmo to walk a sleeping Natasha in her stroller so she can check in a penguin convention at the Furry Arms Hotel. Elmo pushes the stroller through several noisy scenes and loudly instructs the participants not to wake the baby, though the infant in question is dozing soundly. Everyone cooperates in an effort to extend Natasha's nap, and when an unintentional hiccup startles her awake, they work together to lull her back to sleep. Elmo is nearly as tired as his babysitting charge by the time he returns her to her mother.
The book was also released as a Random House Pictureback Shape Book with the same cover illustration, but the illustrator was listed as David Prebenna.
