Trashiest Talker on Sesame Street
No one
enjoys a rainy day more than Oscar, who's known for being
disagreeable. In spite of his grouchy attitude, everyone loves Oscar
and nobody lets his grouchiness get in the way of fun! By collecting
everyone else's junk, Oscar winds up helping out in his own
neighborhood: the more junk he collects, the cleaner the streets
get. He has a soft spot for his pet worm, Slimey and he reads to him
each night before bed.
Birthday: June 1
Favorite Song: "I Love Trash"
Best Friends: Slimey the Worm and Maria (though he wouldn't
admit it to her)
Quote: "Scram!"
Likes: Rainy days; arguing; standing in line at the movies
(not seeing movies, just standing in line); anchovy milkshakes
Dislikes: "You name it, I dislike it. Now go away” |

Mr. Worrywart
Telly worries
in all kinds of weather. He worries that it will rain. He worries
that it won't rain. He worries that the rain won't stop. As a
worrier, Telly often gets confused and frustrated. However, he never
gives up, and he shows that trying again always pays off. Telly
LOVES triangles and he's great friends with Baby Bear.
Birthday: September 29

The Cuddly and Determined Hero
With a grin
on his face and a bounce in his step, Grover-the self-proclaimed

curiosity. This sometimes gets him into trouble in the real world,
but his mommy helps him out as she tells her furry little son to
keep trying.
