Big Bird StoryMagic

Big Bird StoryMagic was a set of books, tapes and animated dolls created by Ideal Toys in 1987. Caroll Spinney and Frank Oz recorded the voices of Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster, reading a set of Sesame Street storybooks. The Big Bird StoryMagic doll had a tape player in his back; when one of the tapes was played inside him, his eyes and beak would move, as if he were telling the story. Animated Oscar and Cookie Monster dolls were sold separately; they would only work when plugged into the Big Bird doll.

The StoryMagic books that were recorded were:

• Big and Little Bird's Big and Little Book

• A Birthday Surprise
• I Can Count to Ten and Back Again
• I Think That It Is Wonderful
