One of my most popular poops, the thrilling hit conclusion of my poop for the Golden Book Video "Five Sesame Street Stories!" A take on "Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street," Big Bird has had it with the winter season, so he decides to kill his friends, including Elmo, by disguising his weapons as flowers. Watch as our feathered friend slays a vampire (Count Von Count), passes on a rare disease (from Betty Lou to Ernie), blows up Bert, and more!
