Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street by Michael Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
More a history of the evolution of educational television for children than a mere celebration of Sesame Street. Davis weaves in the life stories of all the major players, doesn’t shy away from politics, and makes it all a delicious read.
I saw this on the “New Books” display in one of the libraries where I’ve been working and had to read it! Couple this with a family viewing of the new “Electric Company” DVD box set, and you have yourself a ’70s preschool nostalgia extravaganza.
