Picture Segment Description


SCENE 1 Big Bird feels as though there's nothing to do today. David suggests he play "The Alphabet Game" by finding each letter of the alphabet in signs around the area. Big Bird does just this, walking all around Sesame Street finding each letter, from the garage in the yard to the mailbox to the Fix-It Shop signs. He struggles finding a letter Z, but David points him to the sign advertising seltzer inside Hooper's Store. The mention of seltzer prompts Big Bird to ask for a drink to celebrate his success.
