Grover worries page by page about meeting the monster at the end of this book. Generations of kids have interacted with lovable, furry old Grover as he begs the reader not to turn the page-for fear of a monster at the end of the book. "Oh, I am so embarrassed," he says on the last page ... for, of course, the monster is Grover himself!

The Count and other friends from Sesame Street show children how to count.
