Muppet?

has won a Frequent Flyer of the Year award, if only he can
make it to the dinner! While the gang waits for the guest of
honor to arrive, viewers are treated to some of Grover's
most memorable moments. These inculde Super Grover stories, in which
Grover often declares, "and I am cute, too!" after
making a crash landing, as well as
vignettes that has the fuzzy blue monster delivering a
singing telegram, taking on the role of waiter, and
more.
The
always-eager but often beleaguered Muppet goes to great
pains to introduce children to basic concepts, as in the
video's "Around, around, around, around; over and
under, and through" vignette. Grover demonstrates these
concepts to the point of exhaustion, but with unmatched
dedication. Mr. Blue, the man who is all too often at the

the many guests
at the dinner, hosted by Big Bird.

fuzzy as the super monster himself, and will delight both

wonderful complement to the video. This CD features 12 of
Grover's edutaining hits, including "How Do You
Do?" performed by Lena Horne and Grover himself.
