Was dying to get my hands on this because Christian Robinson, Emily Winifieled Martin, Kenard Pak and Sean Qualls were all in the same place! Pros: illustrators are obv great and the concept is cute and nostalgic butttt there's one fail. It's pretty difficult to determine which illustrators did what (illustrator's names aren't listed in corner of works and there's no table of contents--you can find illustrator bios in the back.

I feel like I am late to this party...In 2019, Sesame Street celebrated its 50th anniversary. 50! The classic theme song for the ground-breaking TV show for kids was composed by Joe Raposo, Jon Stone, and Bruce Hart. It's a classic in children's music for preschoolers. A diverse group of eighteen contemporary illustrators were given one line from the song to illustrate. What a splendid job they did, each in their own style. They flow so nicely together, just like the song. Contributors include:

I was such a huge fan of Sesame Street when I was kid--and still am a fan today. There was no way I was going to pass up on a book that celebrated their theme song published during their 50th Anniversary.Iconic picture book illustrators appear in this--with each illustrator reimagining a line from the song. It's so great seeing some of my favourite illustrators' work in this book and discovering new illustrators as well.The fact that this picture book presented different styles of illustration f...

While the text of this story is just the Sesame Street theme song, it is still a great book. The text is simple in nature but the pictures are what makes this story great. The book is filled with illustrations from different artists and each page is in a different style. Each page depicts a different scenario with almost every page containing Sesame Street characters. The book also showcases a lot of diversity by showing people of different races and different religions. This book is entertainin...

So I have to admit, it's been a long time since I have heard the Sesame Street theme song. So it didn't flow off my tongue as readily as I liked. But what did I love: ALL of the different illustrators who brought their unique stamp to the project. Christian Robinson, Tom Lichtenheld, Dan Santat, Greg Pizzoli.....the list goes on and on.It definitely is an excellent tool to show that Sesame Street crossed ages, genders, and demographics

obviously not containing much textual substance if you are already previously familiar with the sesame street theme song lyrics. however, the art and the book design is BEAUTIFUL. even the book cover and hardback. great variation and broad span of many different and lovely art styles. some modern, some classic and all beautiful. stunning! plus bert and ernie hugging each other always puts a smile on my face.

Eighteen different illustrators bring their considerable artistic talents to bear here in a visual tribute to Sesame Street. Since Sesame Street has reached its fiftieth anniversary, the project features the lines of the ubiquitous Sesame Street theme song, accompanied by the artwork. Not only are the artists a diverse cast of characters, so are the images and youngsters featured here alongside some of the show's favorites. Thumbnail sketches of the artistic contributors are provided in the back...

This book includes illustrations from eighteen talented artists, and the results are incredible. This is a beautiful way to celebrate fifty years of Sesame Street.

A beautiful book featuring illustrations from different authors. It was a blast from the past to read, and it was equally fun seeing old illustrators I love and new illustrators I discovered from this book.

A preschool and up picture book of the theme song of Sesame Street with various artists creating the artwork for each page. Nice afterward about each illustrator.

This book is pure joy. The text is just the Sesame Street theme song, but each page is illustrated by a different artist. It is colorful and happy and made my heart sing.

Truth in advertising. It is exactly what the title claims: “A celebration of the Sesame Street theme song.” No surprises here.

This picture book celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Sesame Street and it's catchy theme song. You can hear the tune in your head right? "Sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away..." It's one of those tunes most kids will know for a lifetime. Combined with the lyrics from the theme song are a collection of illustrations by an incredible group of artists. The range and diversity of the pages matches that of the Sesame Street world with all it's color and beauty. This is a book that generations wil...

LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS

Beautiful.

Review originally posted on my blog Nine Pages .The text of this book is the lyrics of the theme song that opens episodes of Sesame Street. Each illustrator gets a single page spread. The book celebrates diversity. As a bookseller, I enjoyed the challenge of identifying each illustrator and have yet to convince myself that I have solved the puzzle. I believe the illustrators are listed in the order that they appear, but I would have to double-check that. The text works best, I think, as a sin...

This makes my heart so happy; thank you for this slice from my childhood and all the different illustrators. Yes, I sang along as I looked through (though I remembered slightly different lyrics towards the end with the whole "it's a magic carpet ride part...); okay, now I will have to Google and see.Update: well, I was wrong, but I was right, but I was wrong. What is written in the book was not the original lyrics. And I filled in the lyrics wrong when I was a little kid. In the original Raposo

4 starsI saw this book and I knew I had to read it! I grew up watching Sesame Street, which a lot of us did, and tt’s so nice to see the song turned into a book. This book brings back so many wonderful memories and seeing old characters that helped shape my childhood. This is a book that definitely needs to be in everyone’s personal library. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. WARNING! It’s really hard not to sing along as you read it and the song will be stuck in your head all day! You’...
