The Wisdom of Big Bird (and the Dark Genius of Oscar the Grouch) was published in 2003. Although the works's secondary title is "Lessons from a Life in Feathers,", the book is partly an autobiography by that begins shortly before Caroll Spinney joined the fledgling cast of Sesame Street Muppeteers. Interspersed with Spinney's remembrances are lessons that he learned from playing Big Bird, and, to a lesser extent, Oscar the Grouch.

Caroll Spinney held a signing of the book at the Muppets, Music & Magic event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2004.
