Coming Soon: The Importance of Being Ernie (and Bert)!

From the folks who brought us Cookie Monster's "The Joy of Cookies" and Oscar the Grouch's "The Pursuit of Grouchiness" comes the latest Sesame Street self help book "The Importance of Being Ernie (and Bert)"

The eternal question: Are you a Bert or an Ernie? You’ll find out thanks to The Importance of Being Ernie (and Bert). And this book will show you how to be best friends with those who wear their stripes a little differently.

Bert and Ernie have been friends and roommates on Sesame Street for decades, despite very different approaches to life’s challenges and joys. One collects jokes, the other collects paperclips. One loves pigeons, the other his Rubber Duckie. One sees the bathtub half-full, the other needs to empty it so he can give it a good scrub. But they both agree that having a best buddy is worth all the daily ups and downs.

There are no better experts on living together and learning together. Their guide to friendship will make the perfect gift for any Bert or Ernie in your life.

"The Importance of Being Ernie (and Bert)" will be released on Jim Henson's birthday, September 24th, and can be pre-ordered now through Amazon. 

The Pursuit of Grouchiness!

Oscar the Grouch has a new self help book on the way. 

In "The Pursuit of Grouchiness", Oscar the Grouch "teaches you how to lose friends and grouchily influence people."

There’s no greater expert on celebrating a crummy day than Oscar the Grouch. After complaining about cheerfulness for decades from his trash can on Sesame Street, Oscar now shares his secrets for making sure you’re as curmudgeonly as possible, all day, every day. 

It's the perfect gift for your grouchy friends, your annoyingly upbeat friends who could stand to be a little grouchier, and even just yourself—because a bad day can always get worse. 

Now get lost! And have a rotten day!

The cover will even feature an image that changes when tilted:

"The Pursuit of Grouchiness" can pre-ordered now through Amazon and other book stores, and can be found in stores April 9th.

Cookie Monster Takes a Bite Out of Authorship!

Cookie Monster has been called many things over years - even "Veggie Monster" - now you can add one more thing to the list, author. That's right, Cookie Monster has taken time out of his busy cookie eating, "Foodie Truck" driving schedule to write a a self help book entitled, The Joy of Cookies: Cookie Monster's Guide to Life.

Not only is each page full of cookie-based wisdom, Cookie monster personally took a bite out of each copy!

And like other respected authors, Cookie made the rounds to promote his new book.

First, he stopped off at The Washington Post:

Then made, what else, cookies with Rachel Ray!

The Joy of Cookies: Cookie Monster's Guide to Life is available now through Amazon , Barnes & Noble, and at a book store near you.
