Snuffy doll

Grover liked school.
He liked his room.
He liked his teacher.
He liked the children in his class.


One day a new boy came to Grover's school.
"This is Barry," said the teacher.
"Barry is going to be in our class."
"It is hard to be the new kid," Grover said to himself.
"I will help Barry. I will be his friend."


Grover said, "Hi, Barry. My name is Grover."
Barry said, "Hi! Look what I have!"
Barry took a little car out of his pocket.

"Oh, what a cute little car! May I play with it?" asked Grover.
Barry shook his head.
"No," he said.
"Oh," said Grover. "I understand."


Grover showed Barry the clay cupboard.

He...

Bert and Ernie are best friends.
They live together.
Bert is neat.
Ernie is messy.


Sometimes Ernie is VERY messy.
Then Bert gets mad.
“Ernie, come here!” Bert shouts.
“Look at the mess you have made!”

“Okay, Bert,” says Ernie. “I am coming.”


Ernie jumps out of the tub.
Splash! Splash!
Ernie splashes water on the floor.
Drip. Drip.
He drips water on the rug.

“Ernie!” Bert shouts. “You are making a BIGGER mess!”
Ernie smiles at Bert.
“But, Bert,” Ernie says, “you told me to look at the mess I made.”


Now Bert is very angry.
“I wish I lived here all by myself!” he shouts.
Bert...

Herry Monster liked to skip.
One day he skipped down Sesame Street…
and right into the mailman.
Letters went flying.
So did the mailman.


Herry helped the mailman get up.
Then he picked up the letters.
“Look!” said Herry. “A letter for ME!”
Herry dropped his bag and read the letter.

The letter said: “Come to a tea party. Bring your favorite doll.”
It was from Ernie and Bert.


Herry skipped down the block.
“I love parties!” he sang.
He skipped to Betty Lou’s house.
She had a letter too.

“Are you going to the party?” he asked her.
“Oh, yes,” she said. “And so is my beautiful doll.”...

Elmo was younger and smaller than all of his friends on Sesame Street.
It was hard for him to keep up with them.


Elmo could not run as fast as the others.

He could not jump as far as the others.

He could not play baseball at all.
The bat was bigger than Elmo!


One sunny day Ernie and Bert and Big Bird and Grover went roller skating in the park.
Elmo went too.
Suddenly a bell rang.
It was the ice cream truck.
Everyone skated off to get some ice cream.
“Hey!” Elmo cried. “Wait for me!”


Grover skated back to Elmo.
“I, Grover, will help you. Hold on to my hand,” he said.
And off they went.
