Sesame Street first harnessed the power of media to educate children more than four decades ago, changing children’s television forever. Populated with furry creatures and a diverse cast, it was the first show of its kind and provided a blueprint for educational media for generations. There are more than 90 million Sesame Street “graduates” in the United States alone, and fans old and young can find their favorite fuzzy friends on PBS, HBO, Sesame’s award-winning website and chart-topping YouTube channels, as well as in books, toys, apps, healthy foods, and other products that benefit preschoolers and their families.
 
Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street , aims to help kids grow smarter, stronger, and kinder through its many unique domestic and international initiatives. These projects cover a wide array of topics, which address specific needs, such as girls’ education, financial empowerment, and autism. In 2019, Sesame Street will celebrate its 50th year of distributing quality educational content to families around the world. Sesame Street is the most trusted name in early learning.

Great for kids ages 2 to 5

Both my girls liked this book. The two-year-old thought that Sesame Street characters were very nice. The five-year-old thought that the story was very good.

This was a hand-me-down from cousins. It is so well loved, and it's immediately obvious why. Rhyming and fun, it showcases nearly the full gammut of human emotions (horny, bored, rebellious and vengeful wisely omitted....)

One of my favorites. Dad reads this with all the voices. His Elmo and his Mumford are particularly strong. His Bert could use some work.

Most of the book is rhymes and quite catchy. It’s fun to read aloud to the kids and discuss other feelings they may have. Great conversation starter.

Sesame Street characters demonstrate feelings: proud, glad, sad, embarrassed, grumpy, love, surprise, shy, grouchy, scared, happy. Great illustrations. The rhyming story can be read in the sing-songy way it was performed on the program, and using the different voices of the characters.

This book is a story of a play that discusses feelings. The feelings are in all caps, to help students recognize them. Teachers can ask what each feeling means, or have students act out the feelings.
