Summary

A guide to being grouchy, written and illustrated by the world’s greatest grouch–Sesame Street’s Oscar! So you want to be a grouch? Oscar, Sesame Street’s resident grouch, is here to tell you how, in this hysterical hardcover book written and illustrated by Caroll Spinney–the puppeteer who brought Oscar to grouchy life for almost 50 years. This one-of-a-kind book offers laugh-out-loud, hilariously illustrated advice on how to live grouchily all day, every day, from morning (set your alarm clock to go off too early, and make sure it’s LOUD!) till night (relax by playing broken records!). It’s the perfect gift for grouches and Sesame Street fans of ALL AGES! Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, aims to help kids grow smarter, stronger, and kinder through its many unique domestic and international initiatives. These projects cover a wide array of topics, which address specific needs, such as girls’ education, financial empowerment, and autism. Sesame Street is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2019–a yearlong celebration that highlights 50 years of distributing quality educational content to families around the world. Sesame Street is the most trusted name in early learning.
