oooh not what I expected. It's more about the producers than the show... Putting this in the DNF pile. Plenty of other books to read instead.
I probably give the first half of this book three stars, but I'm going with four overall because of how much I cried at the last few chapters. I can't help it, you guys, reading about Jim Henson makes me cry. He is a savvy businessman and a SAINT, okay? A SAINT. Anyway. This isn't especially compelling narrative nonfiction, but the story of the creation of Sesame Street is pretty interesting. I got more involved once it got past all the fundraising and wheelings & dealings involved. I prefer Sesame Street celeb gossip, and stories about the actual ideology behind Sesame Street.
