The Count's Castle is a 2001 Sesame Street storybook. The Count is hosting a counting party at his Castle, and he has invited Elmo, Zoe, Bert, and Ernie. While he's at the party, Elmo hopes that he finds a little black puppy that he's been looking all over Sesame Street for.
The guests count:
- 1 Countmobile,
- 2 portraits of the Count's Grandparents
- 3 green capes
- 4 silvery suits of armor
- 5 black kittens
- 6 lightning bolts
- 7 bats
- 8 spiders
- 9 golden keys
- 10 purple balloons
Then they all celebrate with cupcakes, before heading home. The little black puppy, who has followed them throughout the castle, hides behind the door as Elmo leaves.
