Who ' s Who on Sesame Street Who ' s Who on Sesame Street is a " Sesame Street " coloring book featuring portraits of both human cast members and Muppets . The first edition was published in 1977 , with subsequent new releases every few years . Most pages devote an entire page to either a single character or a group , with their name spelled inside an outline of the " Sesame Street " street sign placed at the bottom of the portrait . Other pages feature characters in various situations , or activity pages . Since the " Sesame Street " cast is always changing ( and due to the large amount of featured characters ) , the coloring book has been published several times , adding new characters and dropping others . 1977 Edition . Pages focus on : 1982 Edition . Five years after the original book was released , a completely new version was created . Titled More Who ' s Who on Sesame Street , this book did not feature illustrations by Joe Mathieu , but by Mary Grace Eubank . The book also adapted the same format as the previous release , but with a different design ; each picture is made to look like a photograph , with a rectangular name plate at the bottom of each picture . Pictures of the characters in various situations ( such as The Count appearing on " The Counting Game " show with Guy Smiley , or Warren Wolf interviewing astronaut Grover ) are also interspersed throughout the book . Character pages focus on : Following the death of Will Lee in 1982 , a re - release of the book omits Mr . Hooper ' s page , as well as the following characters : Poco Loco , The Salesman , The Busby Twins , Bruno , Clementine , and Forgetful Jones . 1989 Edition . The 1989 edition , renamed The New Who ' s Who on Sesame Street , is also illustrated by Joe Mathieu and recycles many images used in the first edition . Some of the character ' s pages are redone to reflect the cast ages and Muppet ' s designs .
