My SO is reading "The Monster at the End of This Book" to his daughter. He sounds just like Grover.

[eyesroll]

Should I be worried?

:scared:

1. "Now I am near...

and now I am faaaaar away!"

[eyesroll]

3. There are some great Grover sketches on YouTube.

Sesame Street was so much better pre-Elmo.

21. I find Grover particularly funny because...

He has a French-Canadian accent. My father used to talk just like that.

[AlCzervik]

2. Grover was the best imo, he was never given equal screen time.

[VenusRising]

4. That was one of my favorite books when I was a kid.

I think it's cute that he does a voice for Grover. It's sweet.

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. Is he going to read it to you tonight, too?

That could be twice as scary!! :scared:

[eyesroll]

7. I have fallen asleep to him singing "Ghost Riders in the Sky."

He sings it to kiddo in the next room, and soon enough....zzz....

[Blue-Jay]

8. At least he wasn't singing "Gonna Make You Sweat".

6. My brother had a copy of "Grover, and the Museum Of Everything In The World"

back about thirty years ago, or so. I found it in a box a few months back and read it to my grandson. That was a weird experience. The exact SAME book, none the worse for wear for being in a cardboard box for a few decades. My grandson loved it. Grover was cool; Elmo bites.

9. LOL....I used to read that book to my son.

We've probably still got that buried somewhere....or it might be at my parents house.

10. I just read that to my daughter as her

going to bed book. :)

[VelmaD]

11. I love that book

My momma read it to me and my brother when we were little and now we read it to my nephews. :) Grover RAWKS!

[sakabatou]

12. And I'd sound too much like a demon

[ThomCat]

13. Grover was always my favorite!

Especially Super Grover! :P

[KitchenWitch]

14. My daughter loves that book.

[Samurai_Writer]

15. I used to read that in my Grover voice, too!

When my son was little, about 20+ years ago! Still have the same book, it has now been passed down to my nieces, who are 4 and 6 now.

The Monster at the End of this Book, Green Eggs and Ham, and Where the Wild Things Are were the three books I read over and over and over and over and over to my son. He loved them.

[mykpart]

16. I did the Grover voice too for my son!

Only it was 30+ years ago. Ain't it great how the classics never go out of style?

[Lady President]

17. So sweet

My dad must have read me "The Monster at the End of This Book" at least a couple hundred nights in a row when I was little. I LOVED that book. My dad reading a book and tucking me in to bed are such wonderful memories.

If you SO is able to add the voice, I have a feeling he probably has a very happy little girl. :)

18. That book drove us nuts

Both our kids loved it and made us read it so much we got sick of it. Of course we had to read it in the Grover voice.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

19. One of my favs as a child......

I had my mother read it to me so many times that over 30 years later she still cringes when she hears the title.

[Orsino]

20. He was funnier in Attack of the Clones.

That battle with Dooku was awesome.

[Rhythm]

22. doing the voice is what makes that story extra fun...

Our 6 yr old son loves that one... we found it online about a year ago, and that was his bedtime story for a month straight.

And yeah, i do the Grover voice, too...

I've become something of a favorite with his 1st grade class, too... when i come in to read to the class, i always come up with a variety of distinct character voices, if only to make it interesting.

Brendan is starting to do voices, too... mostly simple things like "Stitch", or a few of his favorite Pokemon here and there.

23. Grover is Bitter

It hasn't been easy for the guy, it's pretty sad.

24. that's how I used to read it! (I love doing voices!)

My son LOVED that book. I had to read it oh, about 10,000 or more times.


:hi:

Does he do a good pirate voice, too?

[Arugula Latte]

25. I love Grover.

Such a sweet soul.

I read that book to my kids, too. Now they're a bit old for it. *sigh*
