Letters ...and Numbers, Too!

This album consists of previously released material from earlier *Sesame Street* albums, as well as some newer material. The actual cover title of this album is "I'm gonna sit right down and write myself some LETTERS ...and NUMBERS, too!", a reference to "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter", a popular song from the 1930s. Later editions of this album were retitled *Letters and Numbers*.
