Oscar-the-Grouch's Alphabet of Trash

 Oscar the Grouch 's Alphabet of Trash is a 1977 Sesame Street storybook in which Oscar the Grouch  presents his grouchy version of the alphabet. Some of the letters provide glimpses into his lifestyle:

D is for "dust", & Oscar dusts his furniture -- by dumping dust on to his bed & nightstand.

E is for "eggshells", which Oscar puts into his bed at night "to get a crummy night's sleep".

G is for "garbage", & the Garbage Grouch arrives with Oscar 's weekly supply.

N is for a "no-good necktie", which helped Oscar win the Worst-Dressed Grouch of the Year award.

P is for "patched-up porcupine": "Some people sleep with teddy bears, but I prefer a porcupine because it's so prickly."

V is for "violin": "I love to play the Grouch Sonata late at night", which he does on his screechy old fiddle, resulting in people tossing garbage at him to stop the noise.

W is for "worm", & Oscar presents his pet, Slimey.

X is for "X-rays", which Oscar has X-rays of himself, Cookie Monster, a goat, & Sam the Robot.
