Big Bird Can Share, 1985, Big Bird StoryMagic, ... Big Bird Can Share is
a 1985 Sesame Street storybook featuring Big Bird. Big Bird wakes
early, and sees a brand-new pail and shovel on his mailbox. He's puzzled
by the tag, which reads "Dear Big Bird, I think you'll know what to do
with this! Love, Granny Bird."
Big Bird walks down the street with his gift, and is interrupted by
Oscar the Grouch and his worm Slimey, who want to dig for worms. He
decides not to share with them. He meets Ernie and Bert at a Figgy Fizz
pop machine, with a aluminum can of bottle caps; Bert asks to use the
pail to carry the rest of the caps. Big Bird hesitates, and Bert says,
"Never mind. I'll bet you're going to make a sand castle in the sandbox.
We'll see it later."
Big Bird walks away puzzled at how someone would make a sand castle. He
sits in the sandbox, and pours three rather shapeless piles of sand.
Grover notices, and tells an apprehensive Big Bird that he'll take the
pail to the fountain, to fill it with water. Betty Lou overhears, and
offers to share her watering can, with which she has been watering the
wildflowers in the park. With the success of their efforts, Big Bird
calls out to his friends. Cookie Monster comes over with a ream of
popsicle sticks, Prairie Dawn with an armful of pebbles. Soon, Herry
Monster (and a toy car), the Two-Headed Monster (with some green and red
striped cans), and the Honkers (with twigs) come over to help. Ernie
and Bert eventually approach, having found a bag for the extra bottle
caps, which are used to decorate the turrets. Upon finishing the moated,
fortified city, Big Bird exclaims "This is what Granny Bird meant!"
