Everyone has their own special Sesame Street memories. I remember singing along with the Huey Lewis and the News-inspired lesson on shapes, “It’s Hip to Be A Square,” and my family watching the episode when Maria had her baby when I had a new sister on the way.
Today, things look a little different. Elmo has his own crayon-drawn world, and Cookie Monster has incorporated moderation and diversity into his diet, but the fun spirit of learning and clever songs are still there.
Sesame Street: A Celebration of 40 Years of Life on the Street by Louise A. Gikow takes you back through the memorable stories, songs, and characters, and shows kids how far the show has come over the past four decades. You’ll also get a look behind-the-scenes with photographs from the Sesame Workshop showing everything from the construction of Bert to the puppeteers busy at work on (and under) the set. This book gives Sesame Street fans and collectors a fresh and unique look at Sesame Street’s captivating history, inside and out.
