So I have to admit, it's been a long time since I have heard the Sesame Street theme song. So it didn't flow off my tongue as readily as I liked. But what did I love: ALL of the different illustrators who brought their unique stamp to the project. Christian Robinson, Tom Lichtenheld, Dan Santat, Greg Pizzoli.....the list goes on and on.

It definitely is an excellent tool to show that Sesame Street crossed ages, genders, and demographics

Each illustration is done by a different artist. All their bios are in the back. 🌞😎

Incompetent journalists try to catch a jewel thief.

The worst of the original Muppet trilogy, but that's not much of an insult. The identical twins jokes and the John Cleese bit are enough to make up for the several un-Muppet-y musical numbers.

A collection of 36 songs from the first 2 seasons of Sesame Street. Classics include "Bein' Green", "Goin' for a Ride", "I Love Trash", "Rubber Duckie" and "The People in your Neighborhood". The songs are arranged with a simple piano accompaniment for parents to enjoy with young children. A great trip down Memory Lane for those who watched the show in childhood.
