Kids' Guide to Life was a series of Sesame Street videos and book and tape sets distributed by Sony Wonder from 1996 to 1998. The series was designed for preschoolers and their parents to help with common developmental problems such as sharing and telling the truth.
The videos feature an opening sequence (repurposing footage from various Sesame Street segments) with a theme song composed by Christopher Cerf,[1] and sung by The Kids, Telly Monster, and Elmo. The theme song is also included at the start of audio tapes in the series.
Each video has a framing story that prominently features a guest star: Katie Couric appears as herself in Learning to Share, Dennis Quaid plays Telly's uncle Tommy in Telling the Truth, and Frances McDormand plays an ABCD Mart employee in Big Bird Gets Lost. At the conclusion of the program, the guest star appears in a segment giving a message to parents.
