Sherlock Hemlock and the creatures from outer space

Sherlock Hemlock is the quintessential detective of Sesame Street. His caseload is nothing like the real Holmes though! When Hemlock reads about aliens from another planet preparing to invade Earth he is ready to solve the case! Hemlock had no idea a storm would give him all the clues he needed to solve this case. I shared this book with preschoolers during "Tell Me A Story" at the Festus Public Library. They were excited and wanted to know when they would get to see the aliens. The ending was nothing they expected but warm-hearted and clever. True to Sesame Street style and values.
