Revision as of 00:13, 1 January 2014

Who's Who on Sesame Street is a Sesame Street coloring book featuring portraits of both human cast members and Muppets. The first edition was published in 1977, with subsequent new releases every few years.

Most pages devote an entire page to either a single character or a group, with their name spelled inside an outline of the Sesame Street street sign placed at the bottom of the portrait. Other pages feature characters in various situations, or activity pages. Since the Sesame Street cast is always changing (and due to the large amount of featured characters), the coloring book has been published several times, adding new characters and dropping others.
