DESCRIPTION: 

This is a book about a bad seed. A baaaaaaaaaad seed. How bad?

and a bad attitude. He's been bad since he can remember! 

 

TRANSCRIPT: 

Today, we're gonna be reading a picture book called The Bad Seed by 

Jory John, with illustrations by Pete Oswald. I'm a baaaaaad seed, 

a bad seed. Yeah, it's true. The other seeds, they look at me and they

say that seed is so bad. When they think I'm not listening, they mumble,

there goes the baaaad seed. But I can hear them. I have good hearing 

for a seed. How bad am I? You really wanna know? Well, I never put things

back where they belong. I am late to everything. I tell long, long jokes with 

no punch lines. I never wash my hands or my feet. I Iie about pointless stuff.

I cut in line every time. I stare at everybody. I glare at everybody.

I finish everybody's sentences and I never listen. And I do lots of other bad

things, too. Know why? 'Cause I'm a baaaad seed, a bad seed.

I just can't help it. Sure, I wasn't always this bad. I was born a humble seed 

on a simple sunflower in an unremarkable field. I had a big family, seeds 

everywhere. We found ways of having fun. We were close, but then the 

petals dropped. And our flower drooped. It's kind of a blur. I remember a bag.

Everything went dark. And then, then a giant! I thought I was a goner, 

I thought I was done for. I screamed and I hollered ahhh! But I was spit out at 

the last possible second. I flew through the air and I landed under the bleachers

with a huge thud. When I woke up, it was dark outside. A wad of gum had 

softened my fall. I felt okay, but something had changed in me. I'd become a

different seed entirely. I'd become a baaaad seed. A baaaad seed. That's right.

I stopped smiling. I kept to myself. I drifted. I was friend to nobody and bad to 

everybody. I was lost on purpose. I lived inside a soda can. And I didn't care,

it suited me. Until recently, I've made a big decision. I've decided I don't wanna

be a bad seed anymore. I'm ready to be happy. It's hard to be good, when 

you're so used to being bad. But I'm trying. I'm taking it one day at a time. 

Sure, I still forget to listen, and I still show up late. And I still talk during movies,

and I do all kinds of other bad stuff. But I also say thank you, and I say please.

And I smile, and I hold doors open for people. Not always, but sometimes, 

and even though I still feel bad sometimes, I also feel kind of good, sort of

a mix. All I can do is keep trying and keep thinking, maybe I'm not such a

bad seed after all. Hey, look there goes that bad seed. Actually he's not

all that bad anymore. I heard that. This was The Bad Seed. Thanks for

watching. See you next time for more Storytime.
