 Timeless Words of Wisdom, 2008-06-28
Everyone knows the immortal words of Kermit the Frog: "Its not easy being green." This book, however, it takes us beyond that with more timeless life lessons from everyone's favorite man, Jim Henson, and those loveable Muppets. Though these quotes seem silly, they are from it. Filled with a great sense of poetry that only Henson possessed, we're taken back to a simpler time. This is an enjoyable read and novelty that no one should be without.

Positive Thinking Reminders, 2006-11-26
Great little book to keep in the car, at your desk, in your book bag, or nightstand. Easy to open it up, read a page or two, then continue in a great mood. Good times!

Lunatic Humanism, 2006-11-12
That's the best way to describe the philosophy of the Muppets and the work of Jim Henson. Zany, silly, goofy, but full of heart and an unending optimism. This book gives a peek at what he was trying to communicate about life using these flawed, but loveable characters.
Highly recommend.
