Una Sorpresa

Una Sorpresa is a 1976 Sesame Street storybook featuring Herbert Birdsfoot and the Sesame cast, published by the National Textbook Company. While the book is written in Spanish, it was produced in the United States for use with Spanish-speaking children in America.
The National Textbook Company partnered with Children's Television Workshop in 1976 to produce educational materials for Spanish-speaking students; the sets also included filmstrips, audio cassettes and student activity books. Another book in the series was El Trabajo Perfecto.
In this book, Herbert Birdsfoot finds Big Bird building a roof for his nest, and Ernie and Bert building a brick wall. Inspired, Herbert enlists all of the Sesame friends to work together to build a house. When he's asked who the house is for, he says that it's a surprise (una sorpresa). Count von Count contributes windows, Grover installs the plumbing, and Herry Monster connects the electricity. Other characters provide the doors, put on the roof, and paint the house. When it's all done, they've got a house that they all built together — and Herbert surprises everyone by announcing that it's a Sesame Street Clubhouse for all to enjoy.
These books are not connected to the international co-productions of Sesame Street, and they use their own translations of the characters' names. The book's cast includes Herberto Patitas (Herbert Birdsfoot), Pajarote (Big Bird), Berto (Bert), Erni (Ernie), Conde (the Count), Grover, Heri Monstruo (Herry Monster), Aurorita (Betty Lou), Cuqui Monstruo (Cookie Monster), Bif (Biff), Grani Fani (Granny Fanny Nesselrode), Enrique Cabeciduro (Hardhead Henry Harris), Snuf (Mr. Snuffleupagus), and Sherlock (Sherlock Hemlock). Other characters who go unnamed include Roosevelt Franklin, Oscar the Grouch, and the Amazing Mumford.
