Ernie Gets Lost is a 1985 Sesame Street storybook featuring Ernie.
Ernie saves money to purchase a present for Bert. He and Maria go to Nickles Department Store. She gives him a card with his name and address on it in case he gets lost. A man bumps into Maria, and she drops her purse. Ernie notices the colorful displays and goes over there. Later, he does get lost, so he shows the card to an employee at the umbrella department, who helps him get back to Maria.
