PLEASE Do NOT Turn The Pages - Sesame Street RIngs In Halloween With Golden Book Adaptation

 A monster at the end of the book? Nah, turned out it was just Grover overreacting. Sesame Street the continuing long-running preschool series on PBS and HBO is ringing in the Halloween season with an animated adaptation of the 1971 Golden Books classic The Monster at the End of This Book, which aired October 29th on HBO Max.

The animated special based on the best-selling children's book written and illustrated by Sesame veterans Jon Stone and Michael J. Smollin follows the same process of the book. Grover (Eric Jacobson) is confused at the fact that there is a monster waiting for the reader/viewer at the end of this book, but Elmo (Ryan Dillion) states otherwise. Grover tries to keep cool while trying to solve this mystery. And whatever you do, DON'T TURN THE PAGE (although the reader/viewer is most likely to break this rule otherwise).

This adaptation is among one of the Sesame offerings PBS and HBO have planned for the 2020-21 broadcast season. The documentary Street Gang has still yet a release date to be announced, as well as animated spinoff Mecha Builders. On the other hand, Sesame Street's 51st Season is scheduled to premiere in November.
