To me, alphabet letters are animated figures with their own colors and personalities the act of counting from one to 20 invokes a variety of sing-song mnemonics that still dance in my head, and the word “cooperation” stands as one of the first words I ever learned (and no, this didn’t turn me into a communist, as a right-wing neighbor of ours - in all seriousness - regularly warned my mother). Sesame Street and I were born the same year (1969), so I can barely conceive of children’s media without its all-pervasive influence. ![]()
