Who here thinks the book "Just Joking" would have made a nice Sesame Street/Between the Lions crossover?

A Sesame Street book from before Between the Lions came out "Just Joking" is about Zoe who wanted to be a lion for Halloween, but couldn't wait, so put her lion costume on early and went to the park where she pretended to be a lion but nothing her friends were doing is suitable for a lion. But it caused her to "not get invited to a party at Big Bird's nest". Big Bird had actually tried to invite her, but she was a lion. Zoe said she was just making believe. Would it have made sense if what inspired Zoe to pretend to be a lion was being friends with Leona from Between the Lions? So many things all of the Sesame Street characters in this book do that they claim is not suitable for a lion (play in sandboxes, swings or seesaws) would be done by Leona from Between the Lions.
Also, would it have made sense for Zoe to have watched Between the Lions or have read some Between the Lions books and pretended to be Leona and when meeting Big Bird, she'd say "I'm not Zoe, I'm Leona from Between the Lions." and end with Zoe saying "Sometimes I might pretend to be Leona from Between the Lions, but in real life, I will always be Zoe-no joking."?
