Sesame Street was always considered an experiment. When the very first episode aired on Nov. 10, 1969, the show seemed to pose one big unanswered question: Could children learn from television? Forty years later, that question has been answered. Millions of kids can thank the program for the 1-2-3s and A-B-Cs, but what have the show's actors and producers learned from their grand experiment? Let's count eight lessons of Sesame Street.

Thank you for bringing these books to my attention. I will be getting these for my son.
Great books. I do like The Boy Who Invented TV, its very informative and fun for little kids.
The Boy Who Invented TV...I've barely read any picture book biography's besides Helen Keller, but this makes me want to read them more often. The illustrations are gorgeous. Thanks for suggesting them :)
God all of them are so cute! I am sure I will return to this post, to find something for my young cousins!
I think my niece might enjoy this one! She's coming for a visit next month, and I'll be sure to try it out with her. :)
