I recently took a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry (in Hyde Park) to visit the exhibit, "Jim Henson's Fantastic World." While this post has nothing to do with books per se, I found Henson's process of "visual thinking" fascinating and directly related to social and academic education. Henson's most famous creations and his original songs continue to teach generations of children the fundamentals of reading. Sadly, the exhibit left the Windy City on January 23. However, if you have the opportunity to see the exhibit in another location, I would highly recommend it. Where else could you expect to come face-to-face with Kermit, Bert, and Ernie?

Love this post! Lucky you for being able to view what sounds like a fabulous exhibit! I don't know if Redd's ever seen Sesame Street so I tried to DVR some episodes & I don't think we get the channel- WHAT?! Bummer! What's not to love about Kermit, Bert, & Ernie?
