00:13Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Video
00:55One fish, two fish. Red fish, blue fish.
01:04One fish, two fish. Red fish, blue fish. Black fish, blue fish. Old fish, new fish.
01:27This one has a little star. This one has a little car. Say, what a lot of fish there are.
01:37Yes, some are red. And some are blue. Some are old. And some are new. Some are sad. And some
01:51are glad. And some are very, very bad.
01:55Why are they sad and glad and bad? I do not know. Go ask your dad. Some are thin. And
02:08some are fat. The fat one has a yellow hat.
02:13From there to here. From here to there. Funny things are everywhere.
02:24Here are some who like to run. They run for fun in the hot, hot sun.
02:31Oh me, oh my. Oh me, oh my. What a lot of funny things go by.
02:41Some have two feet. And some have four. Some have six feet. And some have more.
02:51Where do they come from? Where do they come from? I can't say. But I bet they have come a
02:57long, long way.
03:01We see them come. We see them go. Some are fast. And some are slow. Some are high. And some
03:17are low.
03:19Not one of them is like another. Don't ask us why. Go ask your mother.
03:29Say, look at his fingers. One, two, three. How many fingers do I see?
03:38One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. He has eleven.
03:50Eleven? This is something new. I wish I had eleven too.
03:58Bump, bump, bump. Did you ever ride a wump? We have a wump with just one hump.
04:08But we know a man called Mr. Gump.
04:13Mr. Gump has a seven hump-wump. So, if you like to go bump-bump,
04:20then you jump on the hump of the wump of Gump.
04:26Oh my, my name is Ned. I do not like my little bed.
04:33This is no good. This is not right. My feet stick out of bed all night.
04:39And when I pull them in, oh dear, my head sticks out of bed up here.
04:47We like our bike. It is made for three.
04:51Our mic sits up in back, you see.
04:54We like our mic, and this is why.
04:57Mike does all the work when the hills get high.
05:02Hello there, Ned. How do you do?
05:07Tell me. Tell me, what is new?
05:10How are things in your little bed?
05:14What is new? Please tell me, Ned.
05:18I do not like this bed at all. A lot of things have come to call.
05:23A cow, a dog, a cat, a mouse.
05:27Oh, what a bed. Oh, what a house.
05:34Oh dear, oh dear, I cannot hear. Will you please come over near?
05:40Will you please look in my ear? There must be something there, I fear.
05:46Say, look, a bird was in your ear.
05:51But he is out, so have no fear. Again your ear can hear, my dear.
05:59My hat is old. My teeth are gold.
06:03I have a bird I like to hold.
06:06My shoe is off. My foot is cold.
06:11My shoe is off. My foot is cold.
06:15I have a bird I like to hold.
06:19My hat is old. My teeth are gold.
06:23And now my story is all told.
06:29We took a look.
06:31We saw a nook.
06:34On his head, he had a hook.
06:36On his hook, he had a book.
06:39On his book was how to cook.
06:43We saw him sit and try to cook.
06:47He took a look at the book on the hook.
06:51But a nook can't read, so a nook can cook.
06:54So, what good to a nook is a hook cook book?
07:02The moon was out and we saw some sheep.
07:05We saw some sheep take a walk in their sleep.
07:11By the light of the moon, by the light of a star, they walked all night from near to far.
07:20I would never walk.
07:22I would take a car.
07:26I do not like this one so well.
07:29All he does is yell, yell, yell.
07:31I will not have this one about.
07:34When he comes in, I put him out.
07:39This one is quiet as a mouse.
07:41I like to have him in the house.
07:45At our house, we open cans.
07:48We have to open many cans.
07:52And that is why we have a Zanz.
07:55A Zanz for cans is very good.
07:58Have you a Zanz for cans?
08:00You should.
08:04I like to box how I like to box.
08:09So every day, I box a gox.
08:14In yellow socks, I box my gox.
08:18I box in yellow gox box socks.
08:24It is fun to sing if you sing with a ying.
08:31My ying can sing like anything.
08:35I sing high.
08:38And my ying sings low.
08:42And we are not too bad, you know.
08:47This one, I think, is called a ying.
08:50He likes to wink.
08:52He likes to drink.
08:54He likes to drink and drink and drink.
08:57The thing he likes to drink is ink.
09:01The ink he likes to drink is pink.
09:04He likes to wink and drink pink ink.
09:08So, if you have a lot of ink, then you should get a ying.
09:12I think.
09:16Hop, hop, hop.
09:18I am a yop.
09:20All I like to do is hop from finger top to finger top.
09:27I hop from left to right and then...
09:31Hop, hop.
09:32I hop right back again.
09:35I like to hop all day and night.
09:38From right to left and left to right.
09:42Why do I like to hop, hop, hop?
09:45I do not know.
09:47Go ask your pup.
09:51Brush, brush, brush, brush.
09:54Comb, comb, comb, comb.
09:57Blue hair is fun to brush and comb.
10:00All girls who like to brush and comb should have a pet like this at home.
10:09Who is this pet?
10:10Say, he is wet.
10:13You never yet met a pet, I bet.
10:17As wet as they let this wet pet get.
10:22Did you ever fly a kite in bed?
10:26Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?
10:31Did you ever milk this kind of cow?
10:34Well, we can do it.
10:37We know how.
10:39If you never did, you should.
10:42These things are fun, and fun is good.
10:47Hello? Hello?
10:50Are you there?
10:51Hello?
10:53I called you up to say hello.
10:56I said hello.
10:57Can you hear me, Joe?
10:59Oh, no.
11:00I cannot hear your call.
11:02I cannot hear your call at all.
11:05This is not good, and I know why.
11:08A mouse has cut the wire.
11:10Goodbye.
11:14From near to far, from here to there,
11:18funny things are everywhere.
11:22These yellow pets are called the Zeds.
11:25They have one hair up on their heads.
11:29Their hair grows fast.
11:31So fast, they say.
11:33They need a haircut every day.
11:39Who am I?
11:40My name is Ish.
11:42On my hand, I have a dish.
11:45I have this dish to help me wish.
11:48When I wish to make a wish,
11:50I wave my hand with a big swish swish.
11:54Then I say, I wish for fish.
11:57And I get fish right on my dish.
11:59So, if you wish to wish a wish,
12:02you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.
12:08At our house, we play a back.
12:11We play a game called Ring the Gak.
12:15Would you like to play this game?
12:18Come down.
12:20We have the only Gak in town.
12:26Look what we found in the park in the dark.
12:30We will take him home.
12:32We will call him Clark.
12:34He will live at our house.
12:37He will grow and grow.
12:40Will our mother like this?
12:42We don't know.
12:47And now, good night.
12:49It is time to sleep.
12:51So, we will sleep with our pet Zeke.
12:56Today is gone.
12:57Today was fun.
12:59Tomorrow is another one.
