Barney and his friends from the Backyard Gang learn about colors in this episode from the popular series. Sarah, Mario, and Tony separate things into piles of red, yellow, and blue. When they realize they don't have enough yellow things, Miss Jo gives them the picture she painted of a yellow flower. Meanwhile, Sarah adds to the collection with some crepe paper flowers. ~ Sarah Block, Rovi
