Monsters Come in Many Colors! is a 1980 Sesame Street storybook that explains how monsters get their colors. According to Herry Monster, monsters are naturally a dull beige color. They visit the monster paint factory to choose their own colors to match their environment. One little monster chooses to paint herself a mix of red, yellow, blue and green, so she can hide in a flower garden -- or in a crowd of colorful monsters.
Stinky is a monster who loves pickles and possums but is terrified of people. When a new kid enters his swamp, this adorable little monster comes up with all sorts of crazy plans to scare him away. But Stinky quickly learns to conquer his fear, as he realizes that bats, rats, and toads aren’t the only friends you can find in the swamp.
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.
