Cookie Monster is helping to send children back to school. The Sesame Street icon returns with celebrity guest Yvette Nicole Brown in a brand-new special premiering on Max next Thursday, August 29.

Cookie Monster is a frenzied yet cuddly character on a persistent quest for more food … especially cookies! Representing children with various speech abilities, his unique speech is relatable to kids who are still discovering new aspects of language. His voracious appetite has made him the perfect character to model healthy habits as he continues to learn about cooking and eating healthy foods. Despite his struggle to control his impulses and delay gratification, Cookie Monster will always share his snacks with his friends.
