- I'm looking for a piece

with just a little bit of blue on it.

- Here, Beth, try this one.

- It fits!

Thanks, Tony.

- [Tony] You're welcome.

- Barney, did you know Neil Armstrong was the first man

to walk on the moon?

That's very cool.

- Here's a drink of water for you,

and you, and you get the very last drop.

(bell rings)

The mail's here.

I'll go check it out.

- [Others] Okay.

(cheerful music)

(gasps)

All of the letters are for Barney.

- Hear that?

You've got mail!

♪ A-tisket, a-tasket

♪ A green and yellow basket

♪ I wrote a letter to my friend ♪

♪ And on the way I lost it

- Oh, there's more mail.

- There's more?

- Let's go get it.

- Okay.

Let's see what we have here.

- These are for Barney too.

- So are these.

- I'm glad we didn't lose any letters.

- Yeah, me too. (children chatting)

- Whoa!

So am I. - Barney!

- Hi, Barney.

- Hi, guys.

- Barney?

- [Barney] Hm?

- What are all of those letters?

- Well, maybe I better read this and find out.

Would you open it for me, please?

- Sure.

- [Barney] Okay.

- There you go, Barney.

- Oh, well, thank you.

- What does it say?

- Hm, let's see.

"Here's just a little card to say

best wishes on your special day.

Happy birthday."

Oh, isn't that nice?

- [Children] Birthday?

- Is today your birthday, Barney?

- Uh-huh.

- Are all of those birthday cards?

- Oh, well, could be, I've got lots of friends.

- I didn't know it was your birthday, Barney.

- I didn't even know you had a birthday.

- Neither did I. (Barney chuckles)

- Oh, everyone has a birthday.

It comes once every year on the same day that you were born.

A birthday means you've gotten one year older,


and had another year of learning and growing.

- I think you've been growing this year, Barney.

- Oh, well, my tummy has, but for boys and girls,

a birthday usually means

you've been growing bigger and taller.

♪ From the top of your head

♪ To the tips of your toes

♪ Your body grows

♪ And grows and grows

♪ A bigger size of shoes

♪ A bigger size of clothes

♪ All because your body grows and grows ♪

(Barney chuckles)

♪ Growing, growing

♪ You're getting big and it is showing ♪

♪ Growing, growing

♪ Growing big and tall

♪ From the top of my head

♪ To the tips of my toes

♪ My body grows

♪ And grows and grows

♪ I need bigger shoes

♪ I need bigger clothes

♪ Oh

(Barney chuckles)

♪ Growing, growing

♪ I'm getting big and it is showing ♪

♪ Growing, growing

♪ Growing big and tall

♪ Growing, growing

♪ Growing big and tall

- Oh!

(Barney chuckles)

- When my baby sister was born, she was really little,

but at her first birthday party,

she was big enough to walk.

- Birthday party.

I think Barney should have a birthday party.

- Yeah, that's a great idea. (children chatting)

- Oh, well, you don't need to do anything special for me.

- We can put up decorations.

- Well, I do like decorations.

- And we could play games.

- Oh, games are always fun.

- And we could have good things to eat.

- Well, maybe just a bite or two.

- And he has to have presents.

- Well, I don't have to.

- We could give Barney the best birthday party ever.

- [Children] Yeah!

(Barney chuckles)

- A birthday party for me.

Well, okay!

- Yeah! (children cheering)

- Oh, this is going to be super-de-duper!

- [Children] Yay!

(boxes clattering)

- [Barney] Oh!

- There, everything is all wrapped up.

- And we each made a present for Barney.

- And that's not all.

I think we also made a big mess.

- Well, the sooner we clean it up,

the sooner we can start the party.

- Then let's do it.

- Okay. - Yeah.

- Today is Barney's birthday,

and we've been making presents for his party.

Look at that.

on that special present for Barney.

- Oh, yeah.

Oh, I'm sure he'll be here soon.

It's kind of a long walk from his house.

- Oh, but it's not nearly as far

as some people have had to go to get to a party.

- It isn't?

- Just to get to a party,

one woman had to go around a mountain, ride on a train,

and drive a wagon pulled by six big, white horses.

- Wow! - Ooh, that sounds like fun.

Can we do that too?

- Maybe you should do something more relaxing,

like opening presents!

(all cheering)

- Well, maybe just a few, until Jackson gets here.

- Here, Barney, this one's from me.

- I can't wait to see what's inside.

- It's a bookmark.

I made it myself.

- Cool. - Oh, well, thank you, Mario.

Now I'll always be able

to find my place when reading a book.

It's very nice.

- Here's something I made for you, Barney.

Come out, come out, whatever you are.

(Barney and Baby Bop chuckle)

Oh, a painting, with a big green tree,

and a bright yellow sun.
