Cookie Monster and Kermit

I found this clip of Cookie Monster and Kermit the frog off of www.youtube.com. I think it is a cute way to get young children of many ages interested in poetry. Cookie monster is conducting the lesson on poetry and Kermit is the one that is actually pointing out the rhyme scheme. Kermit says, “When a word sounds alike, like frog and log.” Cookie Monster acts irritated with Kermit (but in a funny was) so this makes children laugh and have fun with the lesson. But Cookie Monster is not supposed to say anything about cookies. Of course, Cookie Monster says cookies and the clip ends.
