Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. The main theme of this book is the shifting nature of identity. Ernie thinks that he can change himself at will, yet Bert sees through to the truth behind each disguise. Why, ultimately, does Bert's perception fail, and what does that say about the possibility of ever truly knowing another person?

 

2. Frazzle comes in to Ernie and Bert's house and immediately starts wreaking havoc -- eating furniture, stealing books and doing some kind of weird Riverdance step. This is clearly a very impolite monster. So why does he knock on the door before coming in?

 

3. With all those cool disguises in the regular disguise kit, what do you think could be in the Super Disguise Kit? Wouldn't it be cool if you had one? What would you dress up as first?
