Minor Book Mentions

The following is a list of Muppet Mentions made in books outside of the Henson/Sesame fold, which are too brief or minor to constitute having their own page in the Book Mentions category.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Early in this novel by Jeff Kinney, there is a drawing of the main character's little brother, who is watching TV. The TV set is presumably tuned to Sesame Street due to the speech balloon which is saying, "C is for Cookie, and cookie is for me!"

Ghostwritten
Chapter 3, "Hong Kong", of this novel by David Mitchell contains a couple of mentions. In particular, one evening the narrator (of that chapter) notes one liasion during which Sesame Street is on the television in the background. (It specifically mentions watching Big Bird, Ernie and Bert sing a song about a magic E that makes the A say its name. See page 90 to 91 of the paperback version of the book. Also the word Fraggle is used in Chapter 9 "Night Train", see p. 384 of the paperback version.

Goodnight Gorilla
In Peggy Rathmann's book, the armadillo at the zoo in this popular toddler book has an Ernie doll in his cage.
