Elmo is a 3½ year old[1] furry red Muppet monster with an orange nose. He currently hosts the last full segment onSesame Street, called "Elmo's World," which is aimed at toddlers. On "Elmo's World," Elmo is accompanied by his goldfish, Dorothy, and the Noodle Family—Mr. Noodle, his brother (known as Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle), and his sister (known as Mr. Noodle's sister, Ms. Noodle).
The character is self-described as 3-and-a-half years old, and refers to himself almost entirely in the third person.[2]As with many children of his age, he is seen somewhat infrequently with a favorite toy of his: an orange monster-like doll named David. Elmo lives in an apartment onSesame Street with his mom Mae, his dad Louie, and, in some storybooks, a sister named Daisy.
