I wanted to add to the many voices thanking James Earl Jones for a life well spent bringing wonderful stories to life for so many people. He’s best known for his Shakespeare performances and his film career, but many of you may not have known about the huge impact he had in getting Sesame Street launched back in 1969. He also delivered one of the all-time best performances on Reading Rainbow.

35 – The Monster at the End of the Best Book Ever
The Monster at the End of this Book starring your furry old pal Grover is the best illustrated children’s book. Ever.
This book doesn’t just break the fourth wall — it completely ignores it. Readers become part of the show by having total control over not just the book itself, but also Grover’s fate.
Activity: Could Grover Have Stopped You?
Ask students what Grover could have possibly done to stop them from turning the pages of The Monster at the End of this Book. Students may complete this activity with a discussion, a written response, or a drawing.
