Kermit ' s Tales Kermit ' s Tales was the umbrella title for a series of animal stories which appeared in the 1989 " Jim Henson ' s Bedtime Stories " series and were later reprinted in " Jim Henson ' s Muppet Stories " in 1991 . Despite the title , Kermit himself did not participate nor did he narrate , although in some " Muppet Stories " introductions he refers directly to the " Tales " stories and characters . Instead , these original stories followed a wide range of forest wildlife , most of whom only appeared in a single story , but a few recurred . The characters and stories were created primarily by the same group who worked on other entries in the " Bedtime Stories " series , a mix of veteran or future Muppet / " Sesame " storybook authors and scriptwriters , notably Jim Lewis , Ellen Weiss , Michaela Muntean , and Barry Keating . Louise Gikow was the editorial director and penned one tale herself , " Lucy and the Firefly . " Despite the range of the writers , all stories were illustrated by John Gurney . Gurney ' s style is more painterly and lush , and the mammals and birds in particular lack the typical Muppet aesthetic , instead recalling vintage greeting card artwork . However , other characters , such as insects , are more Muppety , and the various frogs are nearly interchangeable with those seen cavorting with Robin in the Muppet universe stories .
