× The AAPB is committed to complying with copyright law. Unfortunately, this means that sometimes we are unable to make available materials that you would like to see online. Most AAPB users understand this, and comply with our terms and conditions. However, recently, a user improperly downloaded episodes of Sesame Street that were restricted to AAPB premises. The restriction was based on both our agreement with the creators of Sesame Street and copyright law. AAPB has arranged for takedown of these episodes from the Internet Archive and YouTube, and has tightened security. For now, we have been forced to remove any AAPB access to Sesame Street with the exception of five programs for which we have received permission to make them available for research, educational, and informational purposes only. The archive will still be available on premises at the Library of Congress Moving Image Research Center to all registered users. We regret that the actions of a few irresponsible Sesame Street fans mean that other fans are now deprived of legal access to this cultural treasure on AAPB. We thank you for your understanding. You can get to Sesame Street in its official YouTube channel.

Description
Episode Description
Abby goes to Big Bird's nest for her very first sleepover! She brings her wand, her pillow and her favorite book. Her mommy always reads a book to her at bedtime but at Big Bird's there isn't anyone to read to them. Luis and Maria walk past on their way to go dancing so Abby and Big Bird ask them to read the book. Maria doesn't think it will take too long so she agrees. Before she can read the story, though, there's a routine. Abby must brush her wings, sing the "Brush the Wings" song and get tucked into bed. After all of this, Maria picks "Hey, Diddle, Diddle" out of Abby's magical book and the story comes to life. Luis and Maria finally get to say goodnight and are about to leave when it begins to rain. Big Bird asks them to help get Abby out of the rain. The only solution is for Maria and Luis to invite Big Bird and Abby to have the sleepover at their house. To thank Maria and Luis, Abby's mommy grants them a wish. They wish they could have gone dancing. Their wish is granted and the living room turns into a ballroom. Maria and Luis dance while Big Bird and Abby have the best sleepover ever!
