Wed, Nov 11 8:00 A.M. NH Kids (11.5)

Nina and her brother, Dave, are playing music with the Best Friend Band today. But they can't start because Dave lost his favorite musical instrument from Cuba! Elmo, Abby, and Tamir help look, and they come across something new, a wooden cricket. They try to figure out what it's for when Dave spots the wooden cricket and tells them they found his instrument. This wooden cricket guiro is special to Dave because his uncle gave it to him when he was a little kid in Cuba and taught him how to play. Elmo, Abby, and Tamir learn that the wooden cricket is a guiro, a percussion instrument that you play by scraping a stick on the ridges. They are fascinated to have found something new and learn all about it. Now that Dave's instrument has been found, the Best Friend Band is ready to play music!

About Sesame Street:

SESAME STREET has garnered more than 100 awards, including 101 Emmys, two Peabodys, four Parents' Choice Awards and an Action for Children's Television Special Achievement Award.

The series delivers academic and social education that prepares kids for grade school.

Since its premiere, the show's base curriculum has been set by academic research on preschoolers.

Encore episodes focus on music and art and how these tools can be used to develop the whole child - the cognitive, social, emotional and physical attributes.

In addition, "Elmo's World," which looks at the world through the eyes of a three-year-old, continues as a featured segment.

Themes include birthdays, pets, teeth, families, games and more.
