Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch: Camping in Canada is a Sesame Street album which was released only in Canada in 1981 -- a year before Big Bird went to Camp Echo Rock on the show.

The story follows Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch who have been invited by their friend Louise to attend a summer camp in Toronto, Canada. Big Bird befriends a homesick girl named Debbie along the way.

Notes

• The cover art is by Sesame storybook illustrator Tom Cooke.

• There is extra material in the grooves between the end of the record and the label. As the needle travels between the last song and the edge of the label, Oscar sings:

"Everything comes to an end,
Everything comes to an end,
But a frankfurter has two."

The phrase "has two" repeats on the very last groove until the listener takes the needle off of the record. It is not known if the cassette has this material.
