Sue Johnston - Found CBeebies Bedtime Stories

Hello. I'm Sue.

Have you got a favourite toy?

What's its name?

Oh, that's a nice one.

Well, I think you'll like tonight's bedtime story because

it's about two special friends who are just like you and your toy.

The story is called Found and it's by Salina Yoon.

One day, Bear found something in the forest.

Bear thought it was the most special thing he'd ever seen.

He gently carried the toy bunny home.

The lost bunny seemed sad, thought Bear.

He wanted to help find its home.

With posters stacked high, Bear set off.

Bear put posters on every tree.

There were many treasured things that were lost but not a toy bunny.

He searched high and low for its owner,

but no-one came for the bunny.

"Bear! Time for supper!"

Bar wished the bunny was his to keep

but the bunny's family must be so worried, thought Bear.

Poor lost bunny.

The next day, Bear and the bunny swung on a tyre,

played hide and seek, picked juicy blackberries

and had a picnic.

It was a perfect day. Until...

"Floppy, my bunny!" said Moose.

Bear screeched to a stop.

Bear handed the bunny to Moose.

The bunny was finally going home.

"Floppy, my dear old friend."

As a young calf, Moose had loved Floppy very much.

"Goodbye, Floppy."

"Wait."

Moose was glad to see Floppy

but special toys are meant to be passed on to someone special.

"Will you take good care of Floppy for me?" asked Moose.

"For ever."

The bunny wasn't lost any more. Floppy was home, safe and found.

That story was called Found. I hoped you enjoyed it.

I think Bear and Floppy are very lucky to have each other, don't you?

Now it's time for you to get into bed.

Cuddle your teddy tight, won't you? Just like Bear and Floppy.

Sweet dreams. I'll see you again very soon.
