Welcome to Muppet Wiki!
Elmo's Neighborhood is a set of Sesame Street board books published by Reader's Digest between 1998 and 2001. Each book is shaped like a building in the Sesame Street neighborhood.
Over the course of the series, a lost black puppy is hidden in various scenes in each building. Elmo's Apartment is implied as the last book in the series, as the puppy finally finds a home with Elmo.
The subscription-based books came bundled with a different figurine for every one of twelve shipments. A special offer also included a large floor mat onto which the books (shaped as buildings) could be placed alongside the figurines.
The series was later reissued under various formats and titles.
