Earthsongsposter

Lyrics sheet, illustrated by David Prebenna

  • One bear in the video is the Baby Bear puppet, even performed by David Rudman, as a background character. Likewise a later scene features what would become the Papa Bear puppet, referred to only as "bear" and also performed by Rudman.
  • Kathryn Mullen is erroneously listed twice in the credits.
  • This is the only installment of the "Sesame Songs" series to not have been given a subsequent video or DVD release. The scene featuring Cookie Monster in Monster State Park was published to Sesamestreet.org for a time, and on the Sesame Street YouTube channel. (YouTube)
