==Overview==
''The Sesame Street Dictionary'' contains definitions for around 1300 words, with each definition being accompanied by a sample sentence and relevant illustration depicting a character from ''Sesame Street''.〔 The text was written by Linda Hayward and the illustrations were drawn by Joe Mathieu.〔 The illustrations and example sentences are often intended to be humorous, featuring jokes and amusing situations.〔 For example, the definition for "above" is accompanied by an image of Grover flying an aeroplane ''above'' some trees, which leads into an illustration for the next word, "accident", which depicts Grover parachuting to the ground, his plane having crashed into the tree.〔 Homonyms are highlighted by Amazing Mumford, the Muppet magician, who draws them out of a hat.〔 No pronunciations are included with the definitions.〔
The book is designed for children between the ages of 3 and 8,〔〔 both those who are able to read and those without reading ability.〔 The words were selected by professional educators for their likelihood of being encountered by a child either through books or everyday experiences.〔 Depending on the age and educational level of the reader, the book can expand a child's vocabulary, help with "reading readiness" and function as a first dictionary.〔〔
