Picture Segment Description
SCENE 1 Herry Monster sees Maria playing with Cody and his toys. He offers to add more toys into the mix and Maria suggests something big that Cody can't swallow, like blocks. When Herry considers moving the city block at Foster Ave. and 13th Street Maria tells him that a toy telephone and a toy car would be better. Herry instead brings a real phone booth, along with the Anything Muppet man (Richard Hunt) currently using it. He then returns with a Volkswagen Beetle car before heading out into the street for a bigger one!
