The Bad Seed Goes to the Library READ ALOUD for kids

Cheese and subscribe! Hey guy! Guess who is back?! 'Sip. It's the bad

seed

! Storyteller, come on! First we

read

The Bad Seed and met a crazy, bad and somewhat rude

seed

who changed for the better. Great book. Terrible ending. Then we

read

The Good the Bad and the Spooky, where stress over a Halloween costume almost caused The Bad Seed to break down again. It was almost bad. But it's not bad enough. And now the Bad Seed has returned. What's happening? And he

goes

to the

library

. Ooh, are you going to do something super bad? Like uh... uh... like, oh yeah!

I know! Do you like to check out books and then return them very late? I'll make you wait to find out. Oh! You are so bad. Well, let's see what awaits us within the pages of The Bad Seed by going to the

library

. I mean, The Bad Seed sometimes teeters back on the edge of evil. What will happen in the library? Ah, there he is, already having a good time. I may be a bad seed, but I'm in a good mood. You want to know why? I absolutely do! Because I'm in the library. It's my favorite place on Earth.

Mine too! Oh yes it's true. The library has amazing books. It has nice librarians (HELLO!). It has comfortable places to sit and also large windows. And there he is, wandering through fiction, sports and science. SINGING: La-la-la-la-la! I love the library! Shhh!!!! We should probably keep the singing a little lower. Sure I might accidentally use my outside voice at first, but hey, that's part of the fun! Shhhhh! Sorry, quiet library users. Anyway, I wonder which book I'll choose. The shelves are filled with lots of great things to read. So many decisions to make. Hmm...this one looks good.

And this too. Hmm... although I don't advise you to grab the library book by the teeth. Look, I found a book. That seems perfect to me. It's called The Quick Seed. Oh, The Speedy Seed - the guy on the cover even looks like Bad Seed. And I want to point out that Bad Seed likes big books and he can't lie. Now I'm going to find a lovely place to read. Hmm...   Ok, here's a spot for you. No, too busy. Well, here's a closet. No, too dark. And kind of creepy. What's going on here? No, too quiet.

OHM… OHM…. SNORE…. Oh yeah! This is the place! This is perfect. It's time to read. HA HA HA! GASP! WAHHHHHH! HA HA HA! Wow. This book is so good that we run the gamut of emotions. And we ran the gamut of the day, from day to night. It must have been a fascinating read. Well, that was simply the best book I have ever read in my life. An instant classic. I'm so glad it's mine now. I'll keep it forever! Umm... that's not how libraries work. I will read it again and again. Look at that sentimental face.

I hardly have the heart to... Well, he'll figure it out. SINGING: La-la-la-la-la! I love the library! SHHHHH!!!!! I'm sorry! I always forget! Inner voice. Two weeks later... A letter from the library? Wow, it says my book is expired. Someone else is waiting to see The Speedy Seed. WHO? That? Because? Excuse me?! Excuse me! How dare they?! How dare they?! This book is mine! It's yours! My my my my mine! Yours yours yours yours! End of story! Oh! Not quite. Look at that panicked face. No no! It is late?! That's a crime in the library world! Yes, this is my book and I will keep it forever and ever.

They can't stop you. Do what you need to do. So obviously you're going to hide it right in the cushion where, yeah, you won't be able to see it at all. Speedy Seed is very important to me. I don't know what I would do without him. I think he would feel bad. Really bad. And you don't want to feel bad. Oh no, you want it to be good, don't you, Narrator? I want it to be good. But I don't want him to feel bad, but we don't want him to be bad. Know? We have a dilemma, don't we?

I guess it makes sense that the library would want your book back. Is there anyone out there? We're ok? But will anyone ever enjoy this book as much as I do? Nobody. No one will love the book like you will. SIGH! They will do it? I just don't know what to do. You have to return it. I mean, you can always, you can always watch it again in the future if, you know, you miss it. Good? Good? Good! I guess it's important to share good books with other seeds. I mean, what do we always say? Sharing is showing interest.

Don't worry, Bad Seed. It will be OK. You may feel a little bad now that you have to say goodbye to the book, but you'll feel good when you know that other seeds can discover the joys of The Speedy Seed. Very well said, Doug the Dinosaur. I couldn't have said it better. oh... the seeds that read are really smart. But are there any other books worth reading? Oh, of course there are! What happens if there isn't? I promise you that there are many books worth reading. I guess I should go find out. Trust me on this one, kid.

Yes, I'm going to the library again. Alright, Bad Seed just has to find out for himself. La la la la la la! I love the library! Oh! We are outside! We could do that! Yes, perfectly fine. Hello Library! Illustrated books that way. Hello, new books! Hello comfortable chairs! SHHHHH! Hello people who like quiet in the library! SHHH! OMG, it's time to return The Speedy Seed. At least I can borrow it again another day. That's the spirit! Plus, the librarian looks like Planter's Peanut. Oh, here's the guy who wants The Speedy Seed. He's been waiting to read it.

YIPPIEE!!!!! Wow, wow, he's excited. I've made him so happy. I am a hero. He is a hero. Like The Quick Seed. Now I can read something new. Maybe I'll find something I like as much as that last book. Maybe it won't. I'm sure you'll do. But hey! That is the adventure of reading. That's the spirit, Bad Seed! I can read this or this or that or this or these or those. I wonder what I will choose. The possibilities are endless. La la la la la la! I love the library! SHHH!!!!! SHHH!!!! Who did that? He shouldn't be singing out loud in the library.

Hmm. God, this is my new favorite book. Oh yes it's true. What are you reading? The odyssey. Classic, I hope they never want it back. Ummm… Two weeks later Hmm, a letter from the library. I wonder what they want. Oh no. Oh no. Yeah! No no no! Yes Yes Yes! No again! Yes again! Oh no… oh yes… Oh no, the drama never ends! So you kept that one forever, right? No, I'll give it back to you. NOOOOO! Yes. I'm starting to question your evil, Bad Seed. Maybe I'm not bad. WHATAAAA?! Maybe I'm just a moody little seed who sometimes struggles with selfishness but ultimately does the right thing.

That name is too long. That's why I am... The Bad Seed.
