Defending the Monster At the End of This Book

We all have our different Sesame Street obsessions. Mine involves Bert's purple hand. Yours might be that random episode involving Bert and Luis building a subway tunnel. And in the case of Adrienne it's that classic piece of literature The Monster At the End of This Book. Her take is persuasive. Then proceed to Progressive Boink for further Sesame Street memory-joggers.

Monster...Book = postmodernism for preschoolers. How can you beat that? ;)

(I had trouble following Adrienne's link, though)

It's at the bottom under "Follow This Here Link". I recently checked out "Go, Dog, Go", since both Jon Scieszka and (more recently) Lynn Rae Perkins have sited it as po-mo preschooler fare.

Woah.
Seriously, woah.

That Daddy, Dear You Tube video is seriously mucking with my brain. I remember it very clearly, now that I've seen it again. They just don't HAVE that sort of thing on television anymore, do they?

What's that new picture book out right now that's basically Monster at the End of this Book redux? Don't Open this Book? Hmmm. I am unable to access amazon or google on the wireless network I'm on. Why? Cluesless. Anyway, the new book is THE SAME. Drives me bonkers.

As for Go, Dog, Go... perhaps it's time for my Oddaptation of same.

I saw that "Don't Open This Book," and it pissed me off. How DARE they walk on Grover's territory! And, it is not as well done. So there.
