ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Books That Drive Kids CRAZY!: This Book Is Red – Children’s Stories
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to read a book together. Are you ready? Let’s start by looking at some colors. What color do you think this crown is? How about this tie? And these glasses?
Guess what? They’re all red! By the time we finish this book, you’ll see that everything is red. Let’s pay close attention and have fun!
This is Barney. He’s a lobster, and he loves red! Barney only wears red clothes. His tie is red, and his closet is full of red clothes like ruby red and fire truck red. Isn’t that cool?
Now, let’s meet Fergus. He’s a frog, and he’s red too! Just like Barney’s tie. Even though you might think frogs are green, Fergus is as red as can be. Just like a red apple!
Here’s another friend, Rose the Penguin. Say hello to Rose! Rose is red because roses are red. And guess what? Rose is wearing red glasses, just like the color of this book.
Sometimes, we might think things are different colors, but today, everything is red because we say so! Remember when you were little and thought spoons were airplanes? We all make mistakes, but today, we’re having fun with colors.
So, let’s agree that this book is red. We just read it together, and it was so much fun!
Thank you for reading with us. Remember, colors can be fun and silly, just like this book. See you next time!
Color Hunt: Let’s go on a color hunt! Look around your classroom or home and find as many red items as you can. Can you find something red like Barney’s tie or Rose’s glasses? Count how many red things you find and share them with your friends or family.

Maybe you have a red cat or a red tree in your story. Share your story with the class and see how many red things you can include!
Red Experiment: Let’s do a fun experiment with colors! Take a white piece of paper and some red paint or a red crayon. Draw or paint a picture of something you like. Now, try mixing a little bit of another color with red. What happens when you mix red with blue or yellow? Share your discoveries with your classmates and see what new colors you can create!

Let’s read this book! This book is read by Beck and Matt Stanton. Hello! Let’s read this book together. First, I need to check a few things. What color is this crown? What color is this tie? What color are these glasses?
[Music]
Nope! They’re all red. By the end of this book, you will think they’re red too. Not only that, you will know that this book is red. Watch closely. Are you paying attention? Okay, let’s do this!
[Music]
This is Barney. He is a lobster. That’s right! Yes, we agree. What a great way to start! This is Fergus. He is a frog. He is also red. He is as red as red can be. Barney and Fergus are the same color, obviously. They are, and I will tell you why. It is a well-known fact that Barney only ever wears red clothes. So the tie he is wearing must be red. He wears ruby red and fire truck red. You should see his closet; it’s full of all the red clothes he can get his hands on. I’m sure you would agree that Fergus is the same color as Barney’s tie. Yes, so Fergus is red too.
[Music]
No, no! The tie has to be red. Remember, Barney wouldn’t be caught dead wearing something that wasn’t red. You need more proof? Fergus is the same color as this apple. Apples are red. See? Fergus must be red. You’re just not getting this, are you? Ready? Let me introduce you to my penguin friend. Her name is Rose. Say hello to Rose. Rose says it’s very nice to meet you. Now you really need to switch on your listening ears and your watching eyes. This is very simple, but you tend to miss things.
[Music]
Roses are red, so Rose the penguin is red. Are you calling me a liar?
[Music]
Red Rose is wearing glasses. Her glasses are red. They are the same color that you can see on the front of this book. But this book is called “This Book is Red.” It has to be red! Have you lost your marbles?
Okay, I know you don’t think this book is red, but remember you thought Fergus was green. Oh, come on! He’s not green; nothing about Fergus is green.
[Music]
Sometimes we all get things wrong. We’re only human after all. I mean, you didn’t even think Barney’s tie was red, but everything here is red. Oh look, there they are on the floor—your marbles! It seems you have lost them. When you were a baby, you thought spoons were airplanes. You were wrong then, and you’re wrong now. I hate to be the one to tell you, but you have really lost it.
[Music]
All right, that’s enough! I’m the grown-up, and what I say goes. They’re red because I said so.
[Music]
Let me tell you something we do agree on: this book is definitely red.
[Music]
Yes, it is! We just read it!
[Music]
[Applause]
