PBS’s “Sesame Street,” which reaches 8 million viewers in 120 countries, will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year. Two books and a DVD mark the occasion.
The recently published “Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street” by Michael Davis chronicles the evolution of the show created by Jim Henson. Davis, a former TV Guide columnist, says he and his son watched the show faithfully.
“It touched me in a very profound way,” he tells USA Today.
A second book will come out in the fall, “Sesame Street: A Celebration of Forty Years of Life on the Street,” by Louise Gikow, as will a DVD, “Sesame Street: 40th Anniversary.”
