Sesame Street Fever Book

The item is identified as a vintage children's book titled 'Sesame Street Fever', which appears to be a picture book or storybook. The cover design prominently features characters from the popular children's television show, Sesame Street. Bert and Ernie are visible in a disco-themed spotlight, implying a connection to the disco era, which is consistent with the 'Fever' in the title. Another character, likely Grover, is depicted in a white suit, dancing on what appears to be a multi-colored, checkerboard-patterned disco floor. The title 'SESAME STREET FEVER' is printed vertically along the right edge of the cover, with the letters of 'SESAME STREET' rendered in a rainbow gradient, and 'FEVER' in a solid color, possibly white or light blue. The background of the cover illustration is predominantly black, enhancing the vibrant colors of the characters and disco elements. The book's physical state from the image suggests it is a softcover or paperback due to the slight flexibility and edge wear visible. The edges of the cover show some minor scuffing or shelf wear, indicating its 'very gently used' condition as per the context. There are no clear manufacturer's marks or signatures visible on the cover from the provided image, but the stated year 1978 aligns with the disco theme and the general aesthetic of the era. The book is currently housed in a purple plastic bin or container, suggesting it is part of a collection or being stored. The construction appears to be standard for a paperback children's book, likely involving glued binding. The overall quality appears good for its age, with colors still reasonably vibrant.
