...there is no anchor man on Sesame Street. Children wander through stores and around sidewalks, skipping rope and chatting with the hosts. Learning seems almost a byproduct of fun. Why lecture kids when you can wrap the lesson in a joke? Example: the cast passes around a Styrofoam letter J. Each one repeats, "J," until the object reaches Cookie Monster. He booms: "D." The cast choruses: "D?" Monster: "Licious!" And he eats it. Guest teachers drop in all the time.
