You can still come to the library and read books at the library and come to storytime.

A

We actually have three story times at our library and we may be adding a fourth one, so call us or come on in and ask questions about our story times. So, let's start with our Hello song, ready hello, my friends, hello, my friends! How are you.

I love to sing to you. Well join me: let's go the more. We think, together together together the more we sink together. The happier we'll be because my friends are your friends and your friends are my friends. So the more we sink together, the happier we'll be very good.

A

The first story, I'm going to read the title, is little farm by the scene, and today I'm gonna read stories about farms and farm animals. Did you know that the some of the foods you eat come from a farm? Do you know what kind of foods you eat that come from a farm?

A

hmm Did you say some vegetables? Yes, some vegetables come from the farm like corn and cabbage and carrots. How about hmm how about dairy? Like milk? Do you like milk or cheese? Well, you're? Right? If you said all of those they all come from a farm and this farm is by the ocean and you'll see. There's a tractor and this story's bike, HRO.

A

This is one, this farm is a big farm, it is still winter, and the little farm by the sea looks asleep. The fields are frozen under early morning, frost and the clamshell driveway is quiet. Only curious seagulls move through the air. Oh, but inside the barn life is stirring. Even before the Sun is up, the animals are awake and Farmer. Brown's family is very busy. They are milking the cows and feeding warm milk in the barn in the barn cats, their stalls, the pig squeel noisily Wenk, Wenk Wenk.

A

They are hungry for their breakfast Farmer Brown and his children mix food scraps and vest with bread and water and, as they fill the feed bowls, the pigs crowd eagerly around and they push and shove and gobble their food.

A

Farmer Brown goes to the hayloft. He is careful not to disturb a batten mhmm, who is nesting on one of the steps he throws down hay for the donkey and cows. One of his sons helped him feed the animals, while the other leads the cows from the barn, the donkeys trot in circles, braying hee-haw hee-haw when they see their breakfast in their coops behind the barn that chickens are the last to be fed. hmm What do the chickens give you? hmm Do you know what they give you to eat?

A

Did you say eggs you're right, that's what we get from chickens eggs while Farmer Brown fills the feet race with the chicken meal, mrs. Brown and the children gather their eggs, the hens hop in and out of the nest boxes, leaving perfect brown eggs.

A

Would you know some eggs are brown? Yes, the Browns, then the Browns returned to the barn to weigh and sort the brown eggs. A scale tells whether an egg goes into a carton marked large or small. If the eggs are dirty, they are washed in a special egg washer before they are sorted. The full cartons are stacked in the selling room. Soon, customers begin to arrive. Sometimes they bring empty egg cartons for the Browns to use again and they put the money for their purchases in an old metal box.

A

So you see they're selling their eggs at the farm.

A

When the morning chores are finished, Farmer Brown goes to his machine shop there. He repairs farm machinery and rebuilds antique tractors as the day's warm some. The tractors will be soon working in the fields they may even lead parades or be shown at the County Fair a long pale greenhouse. It's near the machine shop inside the greenhouse, the air is moist and warm. Even on late winter days, mrs. Brown and her children plant seeds in a small plastic cup inside trades known as flats, they labeled the flats and pots with wood and markers every day.

A

Mrs. Brown waters of soil and soon bright, green seedlings appear as the earth forms. Farmer Brown turns the soil with the plow and enriches it with fertilizer from his animals. He plants seeds for green beans, zucchini beets, broccoli, lettuce and spinach.

A

Did you know it all comes from a farm under a sunny sky, Nettie, Emma, Polly and Fanny cow roam in the next pasture geese, nibble on grass and weeds they rush to the fence, honk honking. When they see a farmer Brown, he throws them bread scraps one little Gosling, watches mama goose, drink water, then she too tries drinking from the big pan. Mama pig is sleeping in her stall. Soon, her summer, piglets will be born and mama. Donkey here is eating extra grass preparing for the birth of her little burro.

A

Now it is spring the barn burst to life. The Browns keep plenty of flowers, herbs and vegetables on porch and in the selling room by the roadside, a sign says natural strawberries. You pick another sign at the barn, gives instructions to the strawberry Pickers. Soon young and old are picking juicy strawberries.

A

mmm Do you like strawberries me too? As customers pick bees buzzes and the flowers, the Browns hives are beginning to fill with honey Wow honey to Farmer Brown will gather the honey when summer ends and sell it in little plastic bear jars at the roadside. Stand. Customers stopped to buy berries, it's lettuce and flowers.

A

One summer evening, under the moon and stars, mama donkey gives birth soon. The fuzzy burro wobbles to his feet and drinks. His mother's milk, on a summer day visiting children asked are their piggies yet not yet sand mrs. Brown, the children chase, mama hen and her chicks, who hide in the tall grass by the rabbit cage. One of the Browns daughters holds a bunny two small children watch who does it bite asked the little girl before the older girl could answer.

A

No, the children dash away one day while Farmer Brown, it's planting, pumpkin seeds in a far field visitors find a sign by the barn quiet. Shh piggies are asleep, Oh looks like the piggies were born. Mama pig has a litter of piglets resting beside her each day. The piglets grow, bigger and bigger and livelier. Whines piggy finds a gap in the pen he hops through and three piggies follow. They dashed through people's legs, upsetting cartons of beans, berries, eggs and flowers. At last, they fall asleep behind a bale of hay ooh.

A

Those piggies like to get into trouble full summer is here, while mrs. Brown and one of her daughters, pick flowers, Martens and swallows dart overhead. They eat some of the insects that harm the crops, the Martens pop in and out of the birdhouses high above the fields and chicken coops their favorite houses, our gourds grown and dried by Farmer Brown. They swing above the raspberry patch, where the brown children pick berries the swallow swooped in and out of the barn some nest on the old hanging tractor seats.

A

If a baby bird tumbles from its nest, mrs. Brown gently returns it in the driveway, an antique crop, duster sits on a flatbed truck. It looks like a mechanical octopus and will soon join Farmer Browns collection of farm equipment. One of the pigs likes explore the farm wearing a harness in a far field. The donkeys role in the to escape the flies Wow this farm is busy summer is edging into fall. Apples are growing heavy on the trees, the Browns pick and load them onto the pickup truck.

A

They divide the apples into three groups: bruised four pigs, slightly bruised four cider and perfect for customers in the next field. Pumpkin squash and gourds are fat and ripe. Farmer Brown will load as price pumpkin onto the truck we're ready to carry to the County Fair. Look at those pumpkins. What does that remind you of pumpkins mm-hmm?

A

Did you say Halloween pumpkins remind me of Halloween to the barn. Porch is overflowing with fall fruits and vegetables, including tomatoes and squash peppers and apples, and cabbage and corn, tiny orange and baby boo pumpkins line the windowsills wagons and wheel. Barrels are filled with hay and pumpkins. The days are shorter and the nights are cooler and soon the Frost's will come and the farm will slow its winter rest, but the little farm by the sea never really sleeps bee and and that's a story about the little farm by the sea.

A

Did you know all that that you could get all of these foods from a farm? Yes, and then it gets to the grocery store and that's where you probably get your fruits and vegetables right at the grocery store.

A

Maybe one day you can visit a farm I think that would be fun and if you want to do some visiting, come and visit us at the library. Okay, we have lots of books that you can look at. We've got movies and we got music that you can check out. So storytime is not over we're gonna take a break, and when you come back we're gonna sing some songs, I'm gonna read you some more books. Okay, so see you a little bit bye.
