The Count Counts a Party is a 1980 Sesame Street storybook featuring Count von Count.

The Count is bored one day, since he has nothing to count, not even his pet bats. He gets a great idea... he'll throw a party with twenty guests (counting himself, of course), twenty different kinds of food, a twenty-layer cake, and many more things that add up to twenty. His friends show up to the party: Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, Oscar, The Amazing Mumford, Big Bird, Super Grover, Herry Monster, Prairie Dawn, Biff, Sully, Betty Lou, Rodeo Rosie, Roosevelt Franklin, Bob, Mr. Hooper, Maria, Luis, and Susan.
