Grover, Messenger of Love: The Sesame Street Bedtime Storybook

The Sesame Street Bedtime Storybook

Grover Messenger of Love

Written by Patricia Thackray

Illustrated by Joseph Mathieu

1978

Hey Kiddos~

Yes! I'm doing another Sesame Street post! Why? Well, because I now have another book to add to my Sesame Street collection, and I am PROUD! Along with The (original) Sesame Street Storybook and The Sesame Street 1 2 3 Storybook, I am now the proud owner of a third. The Sesame Street Bedtime Story Book is mostly about the various dreams of random Sesame Street residents, however, this particular story I chose to scan for you today is about cute little furry Grover and his quest to bring messages between two kingdoms.

THE END

All that back and forth and not a computer in sight! Very creative use of resources if you ask me....

Are You A Country Mouse Or A City Mouse?

The Hubby and I are definitely City Mice.... but this past week we decided to surround ourselves with country-like surroundings at a local farm. . . . .

 

We took a trip to Lamb's Farm this past week and schmoozed with the animals, visited their antique market and rode the carousel about a million and one times! Great fun was had by all, but mommy was happy to be home after such a long hot day spent in the sun.

As a tribute to our fun on the farm, I'd like to share a past post from the GooGooGallery's Archives:

Best Stories Ever
The Country Mouse and The City Mouse
Richard Scarry
1971
 

Earlier in the year I picked up a Little Golden book copy of The Country Mouse and The City Mouse along with two other short tales which include The Fox and The Crow and The Dog and His Bone. All three stories happen to be in the Best Story Book Ever as told by Patricia Scarry (who is not credited in the Best Story Book version) and of course illustrated by the wonderful Richard Scarry. Unfortunately, I don't think its in print any longer. I may be wrong, but after a quick look on Amazon I didn't see any new copies available. Anyhoo, we all know the story so I'll spare you the details and go straight to the illustrations, my favorite of which involves a cat!






Enjoy your Weekend Kiddos!

Frog and Toad The Film

Out of Print Clothing

The Boog and I are huge fans of Frog and Toad. I'm almost certain that you won't believe me when I tell you that I was never acquainted with the amphibious duo, and was almost destined to never cross paths with the Lobel classics, if not for a Curious George VHS tape we picked up at the library resale shop. We actually sat down to read Frog and Toad Are friends, me never having heard of it, and The Boog knew it practically verbatim! It stumped me for quite a few days until she popped in the video. It's entirely claymation and completely mesmerising.

Imagine my Surprise when I heard that there is a movie in the works by none other than the Jim Henson Company. Perhaps Kermit is a bit green with jealousy.....
