ALLBarney!

Oh, hello, everybody.

Hi, Barney. ( humming )

Oh, well, hello there, Josh.

Nice to see you.

Here. This is for you.

Thank you, Emma.

Let's see. Put that one there.

I'll put another one down here, at the bottom of the steps.

That's a good place right there.

Thank you.

And I'm going to put one right here.

( laughing )

What's so funny?

Why is everyone laughing?

( laughing )

I put a poster on your back.

Oh. And who's this on your poster?

It's a picture of Monty, my pet caterpillar.

I can't find him anywhere.

I think he's lost, Barney.

I see. You're putting up pictures

so everyone will know what he looks like. Yes.

Hi, Barney. Hi, guys.

Hi, BJ. Hi, there, Riff.

Sissy, we finished putting up our pictures of Monty.

What should we do next?

Well, I don't know, but I really, really miss him.

Maybe, if we look extra hard, we'll find him.

Will you please help us look?

All right! Let's go!

Come on! I'll look back here.

♪ Where, oh, where has my little pet gone ♪

♪ Oh, where, oh, where can he be? ♪

♪ He's her dearest friend in the whole wide world ♪

♪ Oh, where, oh, where can he be? ♪

Here, Monty!

♪ Where, oh, where has my little pet gone? ♪

♪ Oh, where, oh, where can he be? ♪

♪ He has always been there to listen and play ♪

♪ Oh, where, oh, where can he be? ♪

♪ Where, oh, where has my little pet gone? ♪

♪ Oh, where, oh, where can he be? ♪

♪ I just know we'll find him, I'm sure we will ♪

♪ But where, oh, where can he be? ♪

It'll be okay.

Well, I'm worried.

Oh, Barney, we have to find Monty.

He's so little, he needs me to take care of him.

We've looked everywhere, Sissy.

What am I going to do?

We tried looking,

maybe we should try listening now.

Listening? Well, how can you listen for a caterpillar?

If you listen carefully, you can hear all kinds of things.

Let's try.

Well, okay.

( chirping ) Oh, I hear a bird singing.

( honking ) That's a car horn.

( barking ) And a doggie barking.

I hear it, too.

♪ We can listen to the sound of a frog in the water ♪

( croaking )

♪ Listen to a mommy talking to her daughter ♪

Katie, it's time to go.

♪ Listen to the animals playing in the woods ♪

♪ And listen to the sounds of our neighborhood ♪

♪ And listen to the sounds of our neighborhood ♪

♪ Listen with your left ear and your right ♪

♪ Listen to the sounds of the day and night ♪

( birds chirping )

( horn honking )

( dog barking )

We listen with our ears, that's right!

That's right.

♪ If we try to listen with our eyes and nose ♪

♪ Try to listen with our fingers and toes ♪

♪ We'd be all mixed up and never hear a thing ♪

♪ We're going to hear a bell ringing ding-ding-ding ♪

♪ We couldn't hear a bell ringing ding-ding-ding ♪

♪ Oh, listen with your left ear and your right ♪

♪ Listen to the sounds of the day and night. ♪

( chirping, honking ) Shh! Shh!

We listen with our ears, that's right!


That's right!

Umm... Barney, we still haven't found Monty,

and I don't know what I'm going to do.

Well, maybe we can think of another way to find him.

When I lose something, I lookity-look

in the last place I saw it.

Sometimes it's still there.

That's super-dee-duper duper, Riff. Oh, thanks.

Baby Bop, can you remember the last place you saw Monty?

Let's see, He was eating some leaves.

Oh, yes, yes! Over here!

He was in here... and then he wasn't. Oh!

But, Baby Bop, Monty's not lost at all.

He's still here.

Where, Barney?

He's right there, on the twig.

Oh, Barney, that's not Monty.

It doesn't look anything like him.

Monty's inside this chrysalis.

His what-alis?

Chrysalis.

It's a special covering that caterpillars can make,

so Monty's not lost.

He's safe inside his chrysalis.

Oh! Well, what's he doing in there?

Shh! He's taking a nap, Sissy.

BJ, I don't think caterpillars take naps.

♪ Cats nap, dogs nap ♪

♪ Little frogs on logs nap ♪

♪ Be-de-bop, dee-dee-bop ♪

♪ Naps are for everyone, silly! ♪

That's right. Naps are for everyone.

Let's see how some of our friends take their nap.

♪ If you feel a little tired, feeling kind of sleepy ♪

♪ Maybe feel a little grumpy, too ♪

♪ It could be that a little nap would be just right for you ♪

♪ It will help you feel better, make you feel good ♪

♪ Just like the animals here at the zoo ♪

♪ You see, everybody needs a little nap ♪

♪ Everybody needs a nap ♪

♪ Everybody needs a nap, you see ♪

♪ Close your eyes and sleep peacefully ♪

♪ And when you wake up in a while ♪

♪ You'll be wearing a great big smile ♪

♪ Everybody needs a nap, you know ♪

♪ The lions, tigers and the big hippos ♪

♪ Big or little, young or old, everybody needs a nap ♪

♪ Everybody needs a nap! ♪

Barney, how long will Monty nap?

Does he have a blankie in there?

Wonder when he'll wake up.

Oh, I hope he's good and comfy.

Baby Bop, let's see if we can find some answers

in this book about caterpillars.

Oh, goody! I like books,

and especially ones about caterpillars.

Just look at all the caterpillars.

So many sizes, so many colors.

Oh, Barney, Monty! It's Monty! That looks like Monty!

BARNEYLittle caterpillars are very hungry,

so they eat a lot of leaves and plants.

They grow bigger and bigger

until, one day, something special happens.

They make a chrysalis.

And, while they're inside, they finish growing.

When they come out of their chrysalis,

they have wings, and we call them a...

ALLButterfly!

You mean Monty's going to turn into a butterfly?

That's right, Baby Bop.

A big, beautiful butterfly, like this!

Oh! Oh, I'm a butterfly!

Oh, you look great.

Good for you.

Cool.

Oh, wowzer.

♪ Three little butterflies looking at you ♪

♪ One flew away and then there were two ♪

♪ Butterfly, butterfly, happy all day ♪

♪ Butterfly, butterfly, fly, fly away ♪

Zoom! Bye-bye.

Bye-bye! Oh, see ya.

♪ Two little butterflies sitting in the sun ♪

♪ One flew away and then there was one ♪

♪ Butterfly, butterfly, happy all day ♪

♪ Butterfly, butterfly, fly, fly away ♪

Later, skaters!

So long.

♪ One little butterfly left all alone ♪

♪ One flew away, oh, and then there was none ♪

♪ Butterfly, butterfly, happy all day ♪

♪ Butterfly, butterfly, fly, fly away ♪

I'm flying away.

♪ Butterfly, butterfly, happy all day ♪

♪ Butterfly, butterfly, fly, fly away. ♪

Oh, hey, little butterflies...

wait for me.

Ooh, whee!

It's fantastic fun

to fluttery flutter like a butterfly.


Yeah, it sure is.

Shh! Monty's still sleeping.

Let's go check on him.

Okay. Okay.

Where is he?

He isn't here.

He's gone!

Oh, the chrysalis is empty.

And that means Monty has become a butterfly.

A butterfly!Cool! Oh, goodie!

But wh-wh-where is he?

I don't see him.

Oh, did he already fly away?

Barney, I wanted to see his beautiful wings

and-and... he forgot to tell me good-bye.

Baby Bop, you took such good care of Monty,

I'm sure he'll never forget you.

And I'll never forget him.

Look, flutterbys, butter, flutter, uh...

Butterflies!

Sissy, come quick!

What?!

Ooh!

Just look at all of them.

Maybe one of them is Monty.

Oh, Monty, you didn't forget me!

Look at you.

Well, you're a real butterfly.

( chuckling )

Oh... a butterfly kiss.

( giggling )

Oh, good-bye, Monty.

I won't forget you... ever.

( sighs )

They grow up so fast.

Oh, uh, Baby Bop, I think you have a visitor.

Wh... oh!

Oh, lookie, everybody.

I have a new pet!

It's another caterpillar.

Do you have a name?

What's that? Oh, Molly.

Ooh, well, that's a pretty name.

Come on, B.J., Riff, we have to teach Molly

all about being a butterfly.

Someday she'll need to make a chrysalist...

a chrysameth...

chrysale-what's it called?

Chrysalis. Chrysalis.

Yeah, that.

Oh, bye-bye.

See you later.

Little caterpillars grow bigger everyday

until they become beautiful butterflies.

And every day, you grow a little bigger, too.

And I can't wait till we spend more time together

and learn new things.

It's time for a Barney toon.

Eight, nine, ten!

Ready or not, here I come.

Now where could they be?

Oh, I wonder.

Oh! Oh, hello.

I'm glad to see you.

I'm playing hide-and-seek with some friends.

Do you see them over here? No.

Over there?

Should we look behind the tree? Okay.

You found us, Barney.

Well, I had help.

That was a fun game.

It sure was.

Oh, hi, everybody.

Hi, Barney. Hi, Baby Bop.

I'm helping B.J. with his bug collection.

Come and see.

All right, let's go.

Oh, I can't wait to see.

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up

for B.J.'s famous, fantastic, fun-filled flea circus.

They're little, but they can really hop.

Watch the center ring.

Well, I'm watching,

but I don't see anything.

Fleas are so tiny, you have to look very carefully to see them.


Uh, maybe they're taking a snack break.

Snack break.

Hey, guys, back to work!

Oh... ( bell rings )

There he goes.

Whoa!

Whoa!

( cheering ) Fantastic!

The cannon, yay!

Oh, it took me forever to teach them those tricks.

They were hopping all over the place.

Oh, I like to hop, too.

Sissy, if you were a bug, you'd be a Baby Bop hopper.

See you later. Okay.

Bye-bye.

See you later, Ethan.

( whoosing)

Whoa, what's that sound?

Is it one of your bugs, B.J.?

No, it sounds like...

ALLRiff!

Oh!

( chuckling )

Hi, everybody.

Hi, Riff. Ooh, what is that?

Oh, I just made it.

I call it a nature stick...

because if you blow here,

it sounds like wind.

( whooshing )

It does. Cool.

And if you turn it upside down, it sounds like rain.

Oh...

Awesome. Pretty.

Oh, can I try it, please?

I'll be very careful.

Oh, sure, Baby Bop.

Go for it. Thank you.

Hey, Riff, want to see my bug collection?

Ooh, come check out this millipede.

Uh... no, thanks, B.J.

Bugs are kind of... ooh! Ick!

Do you think they're a little scary?

Once I got bitten by a bug, and it hurt,

and now I'm sort of scared of them.

Well, BJ's insects don't bite,

but you should always ask a grownup

which ones are safe to touch.

BABY BOPOh, like little ladybugs and beautiful butterflies?

BARNEYThey do important work, too.

They fly from flower to flower and that helps the plants grow.

Let's watch some friends pretend

to be busy butterflies and ladybugs.

BABY BOPOh, I don't see him.

Uh-oh, is he lost?

No, he's there.

You have to look very closely to find it.

Its body looks a lot


like the stick it's sitting on.

Ew, ew, ew! That's one weird buggedy-bug.

That's why I like it so much.

Oh, these are called cicadas.

They make a funny noise.

And crickets sound like they're singing.

Really? But I don't hear anything.

That's because crickets usually sing at night.

But don't they have to go to bed?

Oh, lots of insects stay awake at night

making their own kind of music.

Yeah, I've heard them before, in the dark.

With a little imagination, we can hear them right now.

Listen.

( chirping sound )

What's that?

Those aren't my bugs.

It's coming from the park. Come on!

All right. Let's go see.

Oh, boy.

BABY BOPOh, it's so pretty. It's nighttime.

( all exclaiming )

Oh, listen. I hear crickets.

And that's the sound of a cicada.

It's the music of the night.

BABY BOPLooky, looky!

Barney, what's wrong with this star?

That's not a star, Baby Bop.

It twinkles like a star.

Sissy, it's called a lightning bug.

And lightning bugs can make their own light,

like a night light.

I can do that, too.

Oh, cool!

Oh, and look at all the lightning bugs

coming to see you.

I think they're talking to you, Riff.

I think they want to play.

This is tippity-top.

But Riff, I thought you didn't like bugs?

I like how they blinkety-blink.

Whoa.

Your bugs are the best, Beej.

Glad you liked 'em.

I wonder if I can make a...

Ooh, that'd be fun.
