What else would anyone familiar with Jim Henson & company's creative gifts expect! Yet having "grown up" with the television show along with our sons, this little book-based tale was a delightful change in content as well as characters. It was made known & recommended to us by a dear friend and we plan to share it with other friends.
The VHS tape was in very good condition and we're glad to have the "original" version with Kermit included!

This book and video are fantastic. Unfortunately today's little people are exposed to much more sophisticated presentations, but the moral of this story is love of family more than self!
