The Count is one of those childhood characters that sticks deep inside. Even after all these decades, whenever I have to say several numbers aloud, I end up impersonating the Dracula influenced Muppet. Now you can get the Count and his celebrity pals dealing with numbers on Sesame Street: Cool Counting Collection in June. This includes Elvis Costello and Feist. Thus after watching the DVD with your preschooler, you can have an excuse to play Elvis’ “Less Than Zero” in the car as you drive them to the carpool lane. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory with all the details:
