00:00Big Red Barn, by Margaret Wise Brown.
00:29Illustrated by Felicia Bond.
00:36By the big red barn in the great green field,
00:44there was a pink pig who was learning to squeal.
00:48There was a great big horse and a very little horse.
00:56And on every barn is a weathervane, of course, a golden flying horse.
01:06There was a big pile of hay and a little pile of hay, and that is where the children play.
01:13But in this story, the children are away.
01:16Only the animals are here today.
01:22The sheep and the donkey, the geese and the goats, were making funny noises down in their
01:28throats.
01:29An old scarecrow was leaning on his hoe, and a field mouse was born in a field of corn.
01:44Cock-a-doodle-doo!
01:46In the barn there was a rooster and a pigeon, too, and a big white hen standing on one leg.
01:54And under the hen was a quiet egg.
02:01There was a bantam rooster and a little bantam hen with a big clutch of eggs.
02:07Count them.
02:08There are ten.
02:10Cock-a-doodle-doo!
02:11Moo, moo!
02:14There was a big brown cow and a little brown cow.
02:22There was an old black cat, meow, meow, and a tiger tomcat, meow, meow.
02:30There was a big red dog, bow-wow, with some little puppy dogs, all round and warm.
02:41And they all lived together in the big red barn, and they played all day in the grass
02:47and in the hay.
02:52When the sun went down in the great green field, the big cow lowed and the little pig
02:58squealed.
03:00The horses stomped in the sweet warm hay, and the little donkey gave one last bray.
03:10The hens were sleeping on their nests.
03:13Even the roosters took a rest.
03:15The little black bats flew away out of the barn at the end of the day.
03:24And there they were all night long, sound asleep, in the big red barn.
03:39Only the mice were left to play, rustling and squeaking in the hay, while the moon sailed
03:45high in the dark night sky.
