I found about this biography after I blogged about the Muppets yesterday and put a link to the Muppet Wikia which listed this book I had already seen the documentary Being Elmo A Puppeteer s Journey I absolutely loved the movie and it gave me a little respect for Elmo whereas before I just found him to be incredibly annoying Kevin Clash has had a fascinating career and he is doing something that he loves doing and it gets paid for it If only all of us were that lucky In the book he and his co author give a short biography of himself and how he came to be working for Jim Henson and Sesame Street By being Elmo s puppeteer he has learned love joy creativity tolerance courage friendship cooperation learning and optimism Some of the cool things I found out in this book include the following Mo Willems one of my favorite children s authorillustrators was a Sesame Street writer who came up with the concept of Elmo s World the mix of computer generated and live action that brings out a child s imagination The Elmo s World segment of the show was created in the late 90s to get to their new audience two to four year olds Originally the show s audience was 5 8 yr olds In the section on friendship Kevin discusses Jim Henson something I always find fascinating because he seems like he would be a really cool guy to work for and apparently he was I also found it interesting that in 2002 Elmo and Kevin went to DC to testify in front of Congress at the Education Appropriations Subcommittee to help prevent them from eliminating funding for school arts programs Kevin talked about his own experiences in music and drama in school and how important he believes it is for children to be able to get the same opportunities he did In the Tolerance section he discussed the South African version of Sesame Street and how they had decided to put an AIDS infected character on there to represent the thousands of infected Africans who had the disease I thought that was a really cool thing they did to address issues of modern society that some people aren t willing to deal with but it s okay to do it on Sesame Street because it is almost like it is in a neutral setting Anyways overall I really enjoyed the book and it was a nice uick read 5 stars
