The title of The Sesame Street Songbook covers several different editions of Sesame Street sheet music books of lyrics and music to Sesame Street songs, arranged for piano, voice, and guitar.

The Sesame Street Song Book (1971)

The first edition, titled The Sesame Street Song Book, contains 36 songs written by Joe Raposo and Jeff Moss. It was first published in 1971 by Simon & Schuster in hardcover, and later reissued in paperback in 1978, with a cover that matches the Bert & Ernie Sing-Along album. Each song is accompanied by a simple line-drawing illustration. Although originally sold with a dust jacket, the cover-boards themselves are also illustrated.
