Sesame Street Treasury

Check out this awesome compilation of vintage Sesame Street stories. Look who's here- Farley!  Betty Lou!  Super Grover!  Snuffy and his little sister Alice!  Check out this page I found - 10 Things You Didn't Know About Snuffleupagus.

I scored a few of these Sesame Street Library books at a used book sale - they are so cool.  Remember how infuriating it was when the grown-ups wouldn't believe that Snuffalupagus was real?  :)  And how sad it was when Mr. Hooper died?  How funny Ernie and Bert were?  One of these days I'm going to have to do a Retro TV and Toys post about our Old School Sesame Street dvd's...

The Monster at the End of This Book/ Muppets in My Neighborhood

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think pretty much everyone has read 'The Monster at the End of This Book' starring lovable, furry old Grover.  Grover is the best!  Much better than that little upstart Elmo!  ;)  Check out The Monster at the End of this Tweet for a modern-day twitter version of the story that will make you laugh! Then we have 'Muppets in my Neighborhood' - both of these books I have here are in board book form.  I just love this one - the illustrations just draw me right in. When I walk by and see this book on the shelf it makes me smile. The modern-day Sesame St. books are just not as cute.  I love vintage Sesame Street.

On My Way to Where the Air is Sweet...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are 3 Sesame Street Little Golden Books.  The first one - I Think That it is Wonderful - is full of sweet poems.  Be sure to watch the YouTube video for the song version of the title poem- adorable.  My daughters and I recently watched the Sesame Street Old School dvd's and I think I enjoyed them even more than they did. So fun to see clips that I had totally forgotten about and have them whoosh me back to childhood.  Exciting to hear they are going to do a Volume 3 dvd! Also fun to see characters that you don't really see anymore on the modern episodes - Prairie Dawn!  Sherlock Hemlock!  The Count! Herry Monster!  BARKLEY!!!  Aaahhh, those were the days.  :)  The next book, The Poky Little Puppy Comes to Sesame Street, makes me laugh, because it makes me think that the publishers were thinking- Hmm, what 2 cute things can we mash up together....??  Sesame Street?  Cute!  The Poky Little Puppy?  Cute!  A perfect match!!  Let's make some money!!  Heehee... this book is not technically 'vintage' as it was published in the 90's, but I'm including it anyway, especially since The Poky Little Puppy is a vintage character.  The last book is Big Bird's Red Book - that fruit cart guy you see there was in the Old School dvd's quite a bit - can't remember if he actually has a name...
