Zoe: Big Bird?

Big Bird: Yeah, Zoe?

Zoe: Ya Know What I Like Best?

Big Bird: What?

Zoe: Learning To Read.

Big Bird: Oh, Me Too.

Zoe: Big Bird, Ya Know What Else I Like Best?

Big Bird: No, What?

Zoe: When A Grown-up Reads To Me. I Wish A Grown-up Would Read Me This Book, Right Now!

Big Bird: Hmmm ... Well, I Know A Good Way To Get Them To Do It.

Zoe: You Do?

Big Bird: Sure, Now You're Maria, See? (music Starts) So, I Bring You My Book, And I Say ... Maria?

Zoe: Yes, Big Bird?

(sung)

Big Bird: Read Me A Story
Read Me A Rhyme
Something That Happened
Once Upon A Time
It Can Have Monsters
Princesses Too
Wonderful Kingdoms
Make-believe Or True
Read Me A Story
And When It's Through
Here's What I Promise To Do
Read Me A Story
And When I Can Read
I'll Read One To You

(spoken)

See? You Make 'em An Offer They Can't Refuse!

Zoe: If I Was Maria, I'd Read To You.

Big Bird: Oh, And There She Is! Look, You Sing Her This Song And I'll Bet She'll Do It, Okay?

Zoe: Yeah, Yeah .... Maria? Maria?

Maria: Yes, Zoe?

Zoe: Maria, I Wanna Ask You Something.
