Kermit and Piggy in a Sesame Street Book

[Drtooth]

Yes! Such a product does exists! Kermit and Piggy are in a Sesame Street book, oddly enough. Piggy I know was never in one, don't know about Kermit. The Only Sesame Books I remember feature Bert and Ernie, Big Bird, and/or the Monsters.

The Book is called the Sesame Street Storybook Alphabet!

Here's ther cover of the book! (Click on Oscar)


As you can tell, all the letters are designated into stories and fairy tales.

I.e. A for Acorn, featuring Bert as Chicken little getting bonked off the head with an acron, shouting "The sky is Falling"

K for King features Oscar as Joly King Cole (or mayhaps Grouchy King Cole)

So, there' no surprise that Kermit would be under F for Frog, in the Frog Prince

Here's a pic (Click on Kermit)




Kermit may have been obvious, but Piggy requires a trained eye. She is not really in the book, but she is a sight gag.

P for Pig features one of the 3 little Pigs and a Big Bad Wolf. Miss Piggy is a gag used by the Illustraitor, you can see her in a frame by the Pigs table. Perhaps a relitive, or past lover?

And here's a closeup of Piggy... (click Piggy)

Great find! I'd never have paid enough attention to see the Piggy picture!!

Subliminal marketing! Love that stuff!

The Piggy is pretty small, It took me the training of all my years of reading Where's Waldo Books to find this.

The book I have is in pretty bad shap. I'm missing the "Z" pages, so lord knows what's on it!

Yes! I remember this one, but not perfectly. My cousins used to have a copy, but I doubt they still would have it after all these years.

BTW: Confirm this one. Is the O entry Cookie Monster in the role of the baker who made the Gingerbread Man from the nursery rhyme?
Thanks and have a good day.

 

[Drtooth]

Exactly! Cookie Monster is next to a big brick oven, wearing a frilly apron and Chef's hat, shocked to see his Cookie Gingerbread man run off the tray. He shouts, "STOP THAT COOKIE!!!!"


I'd give you my copy, but the Z page has been torn out. Infact, if memory serves me, this was a used book.
