The popular television program, "Sesame Street" celebrates its big day all week long with a special program airing about the number 40. "Sesame Street" has paved the way to fun preschool education for the past four decades and has taught the world that learning numbers and letters can be both entertaining and educational.  
  
"Sesame Street" has been a colorful program that incorporated fun, wacky characters that soon became a household name for many young children and their families. The show proved that for once, there could be a show that adults wanted to watch alongside their youngsters and were not embarrassed to be showing it around the house.  
  
Just as the world has changed, so has "Sesame Street". In fact, it has gone green and become health-conscious. Cookie Monster, everyone's favorite monster now is healthy and eats vegetables. Who would have thought a big, blue man could capture the hearts of people everywhere by just eating cookies?
