Follow That Bird Board Game
Did you know that the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album for "Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird" featured a “Follow That Bird” board game? The 1985 LP record cover opened to reveal an exclusive game board – with design and gameplay similar to that of Candy Land. Sadly the game was not included in any of the subsequent re-releases of the album; nevertheless, now you can play the game at home with a copy of the board posted here. Enjoy.
Special thanks to Brad Delaney for the scan.
