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
Elmo, Telly, and Rosita wait for the Itsy Bitsy spider to appear on a water spout in the arbor. Chris loves the song "Itsy Bitsy Spider," so they all sing it together, just for Chris. After Chris leaves, they decide to find Itsy Bitsy. First, they think about where bugs are found: near plants, flowers, and in dirt. Using the clues, they decide Itsy Bitsy Spider might be in the garden. When they reach the garden, Telly observes a bug with six legs but they find out it's a beetle, not a spider. The beetle teaches them that a spider is not an insect but an arachnid, or a bug with eight legs. They come upon a second bug, but it's another insect- a hopping grasshopper! The grasshopper gives them the clue to check the spider's home. Rosita spots an ant hill, but they find out that ants, not spiders, live in ant hills. Then they count the ant's legs and realize it's an insect, not an arachnid. Before leaving, the ant gives them the clue that a spider lives in a sticky and stringy place. Elmo realizes that they need to look for a spider web. Telly finds part of a web and follows the string until they reach the Itsy Bitsy Spider! But Itsy Bitsy explains she has more important things to do than sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider." She is waiting for her egg sac to hatch. Telly, Elmo and Rosita really want to sing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" song, so Itsy Bitsy teaches them a new rhyme about her egg sac hatching. Suddenly, the sac hatches, and Telly, Rosita, and Elmo watch in awe as the tiny baby spiders are born!
