Best Muppets Books for Kids
I poured over Amazon to bring you my opinion of the best Muppets books for kids. This list contains affiliate links, but we’re only presenting the books we feel are beneficial to you and your children.
Muppets Character Encyclopedia
As parents, we know the ins and outs of the Muppets because we grew up with them. Our kids need to catch up a bit! This Muppets Characters Encylcopedia tells them everything they need to know about all the characters. You’ll probably find some surprises too! For example, I had no idea Miss Piggy had nephews!
Muppets Most Wanted Read-Along Storybook and CD
Get kids ready for the movie- or reinforce what they saw- with this fun Muppets Most Wanted book. It comes with a CD that narrates word-for-word with the real character voice, so kids can read along to help them learn the words.
Muppets Most Wanted: Kermit’s Double Trouble
If your kids have already mastered reading a bit, they may enjoy this version of the Muppets Most Wanted a little more. Filled with full-color pictures and focusing on scenes from the actual movie, it’s sure to be a hit with your Muppets fan!
The Muppets: Meet the Muppets (Passport to Reading Level 3)
This Muppets book for kids is perfect for older readers in elementary school. While the Encyclopedia is great for really delving into the characters, this one is perfect for an introductory course to the Muppets.
Frogs Are Funny!: The Most Sensational, Inspirational, Celebrational, Muppetational Muppets Joke Book EVER!
The Muppets are known for their comedy skits, so what could be better than a joke book based on the characters? My son goes nuts for joke books. Let’s face it, your little one needs to expand his repertoire beyond knock-knock jokes. These jokes would be great to break the ice at a Muppets birthday party for kids!
The Muppets: For the Love of Piggy
Miss Piggy has been trying to get Kermit to appreciate her for years. Kermit, on the other hand, is either oblivious or just not sure if he’s ready for a relationship. Now, when a secret admirer floods her dressing room with gifts and goodies, Kermit gets just a tad jealous. What do you think will happen?
The Muppets: Bunsen and Beaker Save the Show (Passport to Reading Level 3)
Bunsen and Beaker have always been two of my favorite characters. Especially Beaker with his Meep Meeps! In this book, the duo are tasked with saving the show after the lights go out minutes before the curtain is due to rise!
These are some of my favorite Muppets books for kids. Do you have any favorites that I missed?
Aww I loved the muppets growing up–checking this post out made me feel really nostalgic! 🙂

Those are such cute books. My daughter would love the Ms. Piggy one.
I still have not seen any of the muppet movies. I think something is wrong with me. lol
I thought I was a Muppets fan. But I didn’t even realize they had books! Must go shopping.
Growing up with the Muppets, that’s something I would def want to share with my kids!
It’s always good/nice to share things you had when you were little with your kids if possible!
These books look really cute. My sons would really enjoy them.
I’m sure my daughter will like these books!
These look so cute! Too bad my kids are older now but at least I can still read these to my nephew.
Hi! I love the Muppets! Thanks for reviewing these & finding your favorites. My favorite would be the Miss Piggy book because she’s my favorite character. Thank-you!

I’ve never really been a Muppets fan, so I didn’t even realize there were so many books written about them! My daughter – and probably my husband! – would love these!
I never liked the muppets as a kid, but my brother loved watching them! I didn’t even know there were books!
i loved the muppets when I was young happy to be able to now share my memories with my kids.
I liked the muppets as a kid and now my daughter wants to watch them too! I like these books, I didn’t know they had any.
My little nephews are just starting to discover the Muppets. Now they can enjoy them as much as I did when I was a child. I will have to look into these books. They both love to read.
My kid are huge Muppet fans and they love reading. These books are so cute.

My son & I are huge Muppet fans
I love these books my kids love Muppet’s we took them to see the movie my youngest has a favorite Kermit tee shirt if I would let him he would wear it every single day.
Thanks for this review letting me know about Muppet books.
My son and daughter are grown up now but they learned so much by watching the Muppets on Sesame Street. Now my 2 grandkids enjoy them. Recently, my grown daughter gave her daughter her singing Kermit toy. It was so cute listening to them sing along with Kermit to his Rainbow Connection song from an early Muppet movie. 🙂
Love this!
These all look like a lot of fun and would certainly encourage kids to want to read more
