Learning About Letters



Learning About Letters is a video that was released on the My Sesame Street Home Video label in 1986.

As the video opens, it's Alphabet Day on Sesame Street. Big Bird tells Mr. Snuffleupagus that on Alphabet Day, people go searching for objects that begin with each letter of the alphabet and read words, and after all that, Luis will read them a story. Mr. Snuffleupagus goes searching for something that begins with the letter A, while Telly Monster gets the gang organized for Alphabet Day.
