Three Muppet Babies Books Coming In September
While the Muppet Babies reboot has just premiered, the first three books based on the series won’t be released for six more months.

Show and Tell
Golden Books, September 4
24 pages, ages 2 to 5
“It’s show and tell day in Miss Nanny’s preschool! What will Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, Animal, and Summer bring in to share with the class?”
Since March, Disney Junior has shown a short-form series with the same name.
Meet the Muppet Babies
Random House, September 4
14 pages
There’s no official description yet for this title, but it’s ultimately only 14 pages. A 1986 book of the same name saw Kermit and friends imagining what they could make a cardboard box into.
Author Kristen L. Depken is prolific in kids lit, having written 150 titles based on licensed characters in the last 10 years. She’s worked with a few Disney character properties already, including Tangled, Toy Story, Cars, and Finding Dory.
A Kindle edition will also be available.
Disney Muppet Babies: How Kermit Got His Groove Cinestory Comic
Joe Books, September 11
64 pages, hardcover
Take a few hundred stills from a film or television show, convert the dialogue into voice bubbles, and lay the images out like a comic book: you’ve got a Cinestory Comic. They’re surprisingly effective, and they show off the quality of art in Disney productions. Previous Cinestory Comics range from Snow White to Coco, and from Descendants: Wicked World to an episode of Big Hero 6: The Series.
“How Kermit Got His Groove” is one half of The Muppet Babies season 1, episode 5.
