Muppet Grover uses his own furry blue body to form letters of the alphabet, utilizing in the accompanying text words which begin with the letter illustrated.
Elmo, Zoe, Big Bird, and Grover are excited about their very first sleep-out. But when they hear a noise in the trees and see a large shadow on the tent wall, the sleep-out starts to get a little spooky. In the end, all of the strange noises and shadows can be explained, and the friends say good night after a midnight snack of cookies and milk from Grover’s mom — who is close by in the house the whole time.
Elmo is just too small and too slow to keep up with his bigger friends on Sesame Street, but a treat from Grover's grandpa demonstrates that sometimes it can be good not to rush off.
By all accounts, this book is a favorite among toddlers and adults alike. Generations will recall their first time reading along as lovable, furry old Grover begs the reader not to turn the page . . . for a monster is at the end of the book! But, of course, the monster is none other than Grover himself.
