Elmo has to find four healthy foods of various colors on Sesame Street before the mouse climbs to the top of the refrigerator.

6.17.08 SESAME STREET #4089 American Fruitstand: Alan is busy receiving a big delivery at Hooper’s Store so Miles helps him out by watching the fruit stand. Elmo and Zoe walk by talking about cookies and ice cream. All of sudden, Sesame Street is transformed into a 50’s musical show “American Fruit Stand.” Miles sings “I Love Fruit” (to the tune of “I Feel Good”), a song about how good fruit tastes and how good it is for the body. All of the fans and groupies become so excited about fruits and vegetables. Alan’s business has never been so good.

Suddenly, they find that they’re lost in the magic garden of a wizard who put a spell on them and turned them into ducks. The wizard won’t let them out of the garden until they name three things about vegetables. With the help of the AM Singing Vegetables who sing, “We Are the Vegetables,” the three bears figure out that vegetables are delicious, are good for you, and are musical!
