Learning About Letters



Learning About Letters is a 1986 Sesame Street direct-to-video compilation in the "My Sesame Street Home Video" line.

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.
