Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street by Michael Davis

5.0

I've always been a huge fan of Sesame Street, so it was interesting to have this glimpse behind the scenes of the show. The book actually begins with some older children's shows, because many of the staff of Sesame Street got their start on other shows. It helped put Sesame Street's impact into perspective. The book starts with the idea of the show, then backtracks to follow all of the staff's lives and previous work. It was refreshing that this book didn't focus heavily on Jim Henson, as many works do, because there was so much about this show and the creators that I had never known! It was a great read and has inspired me to research the show even more.
