Anybody Can Play

Anybody Can Play is a 1980 Sesame Street storybook featuring Ernie and Bert.
Bert is upset that he can't go outside due to the pouring rain. Ernie shows him how much fun staying inside on a rainy day can be. Bert doesn't believe there is any fun inside, but after a number of activities, he begins enjoying himself -- so much so, that he continues to play inside even after the rain has stopped.
Grover, Barkley and Betty Lou all stop by, though neither Bert nor Ernie seem to notice.
