If it's the group photo of Dave, Louise, Richard, Jerry, Jim and Frank in front of the red TMS curtain with their respective Muppets, I've seen that one before. In fact, I've got that photo as my desktop art.

Well done, Christy, and thanks for showing it, heralde!

Yeah that's it. I put it on my desktop too, lol. I'm glad Louise was in the photo. The whole video is nicely done.

Yay, I hit the jackpot! My library has a separate book store section where they sell old books for 50 cents. I already found two Sesame Street Treasury books (with Grover's Mom and the Two Headed Monster on the covers).

There was one with Forgetful Jones on the cover, but I decided not to be greedy, kids need to see these things too! I waited two weeks and sure enough it was gone when I came back. Hopefully it found a good home.

But I did take a look inside, Forgetful's trying to sing a song on his guitar but he can't remember the words, so he decides to just hum. Very cute, but ends up sounding more like a Don Music sketch!

Today I found Grover Sleeps Over (just about the most adorable SS book in the world!) and What's a Fraggle?, which is particularly cool because I somehow missed noticing the Fraggle books their first time around!

I remember seeing those commercials for the Fraggle books a long time ago. I used to love thoses!

Yeah, and at the church my family used to go to, in the playroom they had a whole series of Muppet storybooks. As I recall, they contained stories about the Muppets (both grown-ups and babies), the Fraggles and, I think, the Sesame gang. I remember sneaking in there when I was nine or ten and reading through the books.

I also remember seeing a book of Muppet poems (written by Jack Prelutsky) on display at a bookstore around that time. Such a pity I didn't decide to get it. I remember the poem about Kermit tending to his garden at home, and an irate Miss Piggy pursuing Scooter "for an hour with a two-pound baseball bat."

Oh well, as Kermit said on "I Love the 70s:" "Everybody obeys Miss Piggy, nobody gets hurt."

Hey Heralde... Does your library's bookstore still have any SS reasury books? Or did you take as many of them as you could? Asking, because I believe that Volumes 11-15 of the Treasury continued the Count's Counting Pages from the SS Library series of books that only went up to 10. If you have them accessible and can help, would love to know what happened in the pages for numbers 11-15 from the pages of the Treasury.

And Erin, I think that book's called Kermit's Garden of Verses, you can probably find it on eBay.

It might have been, but it had a different cover from what's posted on Muppet Wiki. Must have been a reprint.

(looks down at floor) Hey, who scattered all these perfectly good bagels all over? Bagels are meant to be eaten plain or toasted or spread with cream cheese and preserves, or chopped up into breadcrumbs and croutons, not to be tossed all over all and sundry!

 

[The Count]

... Another mystery on your hands Erin? Well, no, cause it's at your feet instead. *Small groan. Twas probably that nare-do-well nincompoop ninny of a janitor. We rully need to get better help in here. *Picks up bagels, spreads some cream cheese heescake mix on top, adding some sliced smoked salmon and lining the trays at the buffet. Hmmm, I just hope those chocolate doughnuts get here intact.

Hi Count, well I did buy Volume 13. I didn't take most of them because, as I say, I wanted the kids to have a shot too.

On The Count's Counting Page in Volume 13, there's a swirl of different colors with different numbers on them. The Count says,

"Greetings, my friends! It is I, the Count!
The numbers 1 to 13 are hidden somewhere on these pages.
I want to count them, but I can't find them.
Can you help me?
Find the numbers 1 to 13.
Now, count the numbers 1 to 13."

Is that what you wanted to know, or is there something else?
