There is just so much going on on every page in this book that it is impossible to truly do it justice in one review. Every word feels so fresh and new that even the old story of how Big Bird grew out of his “big goofy guy” persona seems like brand new information. Louis Gikow does an amazing job of writing the book as a love-letter to the fans. Everything on these pages is a call out to we, the hardcore fans of the show as kids and adults.
Never before has an official, invaluable resource on the scale of this been made available to the public. Obama and hundreds and hundreds more of everything that represents Sesame Street and all they have done and will do in the future. Hooper, Oscar, Big Bird, Bert, Ernie Elmo, Grover, Cookie Monster, and more at least 30 pictures of Kermit, Snuffy, Prairie Dawn, Caroll Spinney, Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Jerry Nelson at least 20 of Barkley, Herry Monster, Fat Blue, Richard Hunt, Fran Brill, and Martin P. There are at least 50 pictures of Susan, Gordon, Bob, Maria, Luis, Mr. Never before has such a revolutionary amount of never-before-seen Sesame Street photos been collected and put into one place. The sheer amount and quality of the images here boggles the mind. Scattered throughout every single page of the book are photographs of countless men, women, monsters, birds, dogs, Ernies, Berts, grouches, Counts, frogs, Snuffleupaguses, celebrities, and much, much more. Every chapter follows this trend, just with a different theme each time. Each chapter then segues into a discussion of the past 40 years of the show. These sections are beautiful and real and it feels like we, the undying fans of the show, are actually sitting in a director’s chair watching Elmo, and Big Bird, and Abby Cadabby goof around between takes. I have examined every page four times in the two days I have owned the book and there are still chapters I haven’t read, still pictures I still haven’t dwelt nearly long enough on, still stories I haven’t laughed at, still quotes I haven’t been left stunned by, still magic that hasn’t touched my heart and soul in the way only Sesame Street can.Įvery chapter of the book starts out on the set of the most famous Street in all the world–usually during the filming of an episode from the 40th season.
It is nearly impossible to truly comprehend every single shred of information presented in this book. Everything you have ever wanted to know, every picture you have ever wanted to see, every cast, crew, and Muppet bio you have ever wanted to read–they are all here in incredible detail.
