Elmo And Sesame Street
Sesame Street’s very own Elmo, has been very prominent and became everyone’s favorite for over 20 years now. He is known from his red fur, large eyes and an orange nose. His friendliness and positive outlook made him loved by a lot of its viewers. Aside from being known as the red Muppet, he is also very outgoing, imaginative and optimistic.
The person responsible for the character of Elmo is Kevin Clash. Elmo was just known as a Little Monster until Clash introduced him with his trademark giggle and positive outlook. Clash’s puppeteer passion put Elmo into a different level and gave enough energy to show-off its character. His strong enthusiasm inspired others to develop Elmo’s character.
Elmo’s birthday is on February 3 and he is self-described as three and a half years old. He enjoys learning, laughing, looking at books and playing. He has a pet goldfish named Dorothy, which accompanies him on his daily show, “Elmo’s World”.
Elmo became a sure hit and have guested in different talk shows like The Rosie O’Donnell Show, Martha Stewart Living, The Tony Danza Show, Rove Live, Oprah and The View. He also appeared on popular shows like Teen Kids News, Emeril Live! and The West Wing. He is the first and only non-human puppet to testify before the US Congress, as requested by Rep. Duke Cunningham in April 2002.

They are very pleased with the content of the lessons, which made learning a fun way. No wonder, Elmo’s World really is educational.
