The Cuddly and Determined Hero With a grin on his face and a bounce in his step, Grover—the self-proclaimed "world's cutest monster"—is always bursting with energy and curiosity. This sometimes gets him into trouble in the real world, but his mommy helps him out as she tells her furry little son to keep trying. Birthday: October 14 Favorite Songs: "Monster in the Mirror"; "I Will Survive" Best Friend: Kermit (no one else has the patience) Quote "Hello every-bod-eeeee!" Likes: Righting wrongs (or thinking he is); anything served at Charlie's Restaurant; soaring high in the air as Supergrover; running upstairs and downstairs; wearing his Supergrover costume Dislikes: Phone booths without doors (supermonsters need their privacy, too!)

					Horoscope: Grover's the typical Libra, working frantically one moment, and relaxing the next (never mind the fact that he's exhausted himself and collapsed on the floor). He shares his sign with Roger Moore (unlike James Bond, however, Supergrover never gets the girl), Ralph Lauren (who may be chic, but isn't as cute as Grover), and Mahatma Gandhi (can't you see him doing "Near and Far?"). Scientific Name: Cutius bluicus Philosophy: Always try to help others. Hobbies: Saving the day Voice and Puppetry: Frank Oz
