Summary- This book uses very few words and large pictures. It is all about things you can do on your own. The story uses the muppets from Sesame Street to show all the things they can do on their own like combing their hair and putting on their boots. It's a fast and simple picture book but still educational for children.


Extension Activity- Have the kids make a list of all the things they can do on their own, and one thing they want to be able to do on their own by the end of the school year, unit, or certain time.
