    Sequel to "Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet" coming

    -------------------------- Found this on amazon today: http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Sixth-Grade-Muppet-Book-Clowns/dp/0316183148/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326418962&sr=8-1 A sequel!

    TMS fic: Growing Together

    ---------------- Lovely! The notion of them actually filming these things, rather than just setting a camera up and catching it all candidly, is entertaining in itself.
