Happy Earth Day, Everybody! Here's a special videotape I grew up on as a child, along with my sister and family!<br /><br />Come Along with head counsler Grover as he leads his Muppet kid campers on an informative hike through scenic Monster State Park. But when some of Grover's information is wrong, he and his campers get help from a talking mountain, some recycling birds, and special guest star Cookie Monster, and everyone learn a gentle lesson about the importance of preserving our Earth's environment. This collection of sing-along hits includes "Every Bit a' Litter Hurts", Oscar's Junk Band", Kermit the Frog's classic On My Pond", and eight more Sesame Street favorites.
