Muppet Babies Video Storybooks Six volumes of Muppet Babies Video Storybooks were produced in 1986 and 1988 by Kids Klassics . They each combined live - action footage with partial animation of three Muppet Babies storybooks . Kermit the Frog ( sometimes accompanied by Robin ) is featured reading the stories which are realized on screen by the actual illustrations from the books , which were lightly animated . These storybook segments were accompanied by score music from episodes of the show , which was composed by Rob Walsh . The first home video cassettes were released in 1987 , with reissues following on the same label , some of which were distributed by Avon Products . A compilation of 7 stories was also released in 1987 as the " Muppet Babies Favorite Video Storybooks " . Kermit tells the home audience to use their imagination as think of what it would be like to be inside the nursery with the Muppet Babies . Kermit says you have to be comfortable , but not too comfortable because he doesn ' t want you to fall asleep during the story . After the third story , Kermit mentions how Gonzo felt after he knew about himself and received a strawberry milk shake . Kermit sort of felt like a milk shake , cold and wet . But ' s that a joke put on by Fozzie . Kermit ends by turning to his side yelling he didn ' t understand Fozzie ' s joke . Kermit is surprised to see the audience has turned into this video . He was browsing through the first story he was about to read . Kermit asks if you have ever been on an airplane and how it would feel like when Gonzo goes to London in the first book . Before the start of the story , Kermit tells us to imagine Rowlf is playing the piano and all of the Muppet Babies are singing . Before the second book , Kermit wonders if we have ever pretended to be someone else , just like Fozzie was trying to be Kermit . It ' s not easy being green . After the third story , Kermit ' s following Animal around even makes him want to take a nap . Kermit is seen in the library sleeping during the credits . Kermit enjoys when you come to visit him , but sometimes he feels he needs to be alone . Kermit the Hermit is about those kinds of feelings . Before the second story , Kermit asks if you can read because before he did , Baby Piggy had to find out what the love note meant . After the third story , Kermit knows how much fun adventures can be , and tells us he will be back to read more just in case you don ' t know how to read yet . Starting with this volume of Muppet Babies stories , viewers see scenes from the books and Kermit says what is in the beginning of the books : " The Muppet Babies live in the nursery , in a house on a street that is a lot like yours . But they can travel around anywhere , anytime , using a special power . The power of the imagination . Can you imagine what it would be like to go with them ? Join the Muppet Babies on this adventure and find out . " The scene cuts to the bedroom while a big thunderstorm is going on outside . Kermit finds his nephew Robin hiding because he ' s scared of thunderstorms . Kermit tells him Baby Piggy was scared of storms and reads to Robin . Robin starts to enjoy Kermit ' s reading as he goes on with the first story followed by the second story with Baby Fozzie , but becomes a little angry when the thunderstorm outside is still going on . Kermit tells Robin he was the same way one time , based on the third story . After that , Robin feels much better and the storm is finally over . Kermit asks Robin if he wants to go outside to play , but Robin decides not to , so as the video ends , Kermit decides to read to Robin some more , but Robin tells him to choose the story , so Kermit reads the same story again just as the scene cuts and the credits roll . In this video , Robin is tucked in for bed since he has a school day coming up , but Robin doesn ' t want to go to sleep since it ' s still light out .

Since he isn ' t sleepy , he asks Kermit to read another story , but after that , Robin wants to dance . Kermit tells him it ' s bedtime for him , but Robin says it ' s a waste of time . Kermit tells Robin he used to think the same way so he goes to get him the story about how he felt and what he did to overcome his anxiety . Kermit tells Robin that will be the last book to read to him and he ' ll promise to go to sleep . At the end of the story , it ' s dark outside and Robin has turned in . Kermit kisses him and says , " Good night , Sir Robin . Sleep tight . " Robin is coming down with a cold and is sneezing . He wants to go outside to play , but Kermit suggests he rest until he feels better . Robin doesn ' t think there ' s anything to do , but Kermit suggests to read him a story .
