Bedtime Stories & Songs

Sleepytime Songs & Stories is a Sesame Street direct-to-video program, originally released on VHS as part of the My Sesame Street Home Video label in 1986 under the title Bedtime Stories and Songs. The framing story involves Big Bird speaking to the audience, offering advice on the best ways to fall asleep. A Honker and her baby stop by, and Telly arrives for a sleepover with heaps of cuddly toys that he couldn't sleep without. Buster the Horse demonstrates how to fall asleep standing up and Susan comments from her apartment window.
