SCENE 1 | Big Bird watches through the Hooper's Store window as Jasmine tries string beans for the first time. With encouragement from her mother, she tries one and finds she likes them! This inspires Big Bird to try something new at Hooper’s, too. Instead of his usual birdseed milkshake and birdseed cookies, he’d like a different birdseed food, but Alan only knows those two recipes. Big Bird leaves to fetch the birdseed recipe book his Granny Bird gave him. |
