As previously posted I love finding vintage items relating to Sesame Street. Those first few finds definitely sowed the seed of an ever-expanding little collection (even though I am NOT a collector)! Some recent finds include these books published in the late 70s and early 80s.
I love the style of the illustrations and the funny story-lines. I don't suppose Mr. Hooper is still around?
Cute, funny and educational - what more could a kid (or their nostalgic Mum) want?

Mr Hooper died and they did a whole show about it. Allen moved into his shop and opened the diner. When I think about the things I DO keep in my head verses the things that slip away, it's depressing!
Good luck with your "non-collection"!
i have a picked up a couple of sesame st books too for the same reasons. something v seductive bout those illustrations, most modern cartoons leave me cold.
Very cute books. Any Elmo-related paraphernalia?
I absolutely love vintage children books!!!!!
Ohhhh...great, great find!
Thanks for the link to the Deer post...Love it! Sonya
i found 'big bird joins the carnival' the other day and to tell you the truth, our home is brimming with books. my little one isn't all that fussed with it so i'd be happy to send it to you. let me know your address!
Another NON-collector - exciting! Loving your blog.
Wow, that is great. I love your blog and Sesame Street as well! I am actually doing a fun presentation for construction and that Measuring image would be perfect... Any chance I can contact you for a high resolution image of that?
