Primarily in the early 1990s on Sesame Street, Prairie Dawn would periodically be seen engaging in the classic intellectual pursuit of reading books. However, unlike Bert's books (generally fictitious works centered on pigeons and oatmeal), Prairie's choices of literature were primarily real books, particularly those with a feminist motif. Due to Prairie's petite form, specialized prop books of the classic works were made, often boasting covers with a literal interpretation of the book's title or subject matter.
