Jim
Henson: From Puppets to Muppets
- Taking a Trip (1987)
Published by Dillion Press. Written by Geraldine Woods. Hardback, 54 pages.
This is a small, short, but interesting biography of Jim Henson. It is a little out of date, but it features information and pictures not usually shown.
The Best Babysitter in the World (1987)
Published 1987 by Scholastic Inc. Written by Marilyn Kaye. Illustrated by Lauren Attinello. Storybook. Paperback, 48 pages.
This is one of a series of Scholastic books made especially for beginning readers. It has very accurate illustrations of the characters and the story is good as well.
In this book, Fozzie babysits Robin.
Kermit's
Mixed-up Message (1987)
Published by Scholastic Inc. Written by Joanne Barkin. Illustrated By Lauren Attinello. Paperback, 32 pages.
The Muppets fear that the show won't go on, when Scooter misunderstands Kermit during a phone call. So everyone goes crazy sprucing up their acts in an attempt to save it.
Jim
Henson: Muppet Master (1988)
Published by Lerner Publications Company. Written by Nathan Aaseng. Hardback, 40 pages.
This is another interesting biography of Jim Henson. For some reason, though, it seems to be more well known than From Puppets to Muppets. Both are neat if you can find them.

Miss Piggy is worried when she hears that a gorilla has escaped from the zoo. The gorilla catches Piggy and eats her alive. No, I'm just kidding.
