0:00:06 > 0:00:09I'm going to put this cushion here.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13I'll fluff up this cushion here, put on my blanket...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Oh. Hello.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17I'm Toby.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21I was just trying to get comfy before having a nap.
0:00:21 > 0:00:26The animals in tonight's bedtime story are trying to get to sleep too.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31It's called Bedtime Hullabaloo, by Charles Fuge and David Conway.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33One night in the silly savannah,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36a ludicrous leopard was leapfrogging to bed
0:00:36 > 0:00:40when all of a sudden, there was a terrible racket.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Hrrr! Zzzz!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47"What a hullabaloo!" said the leopard,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and decided to follow the noise.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Along the way, the leopard passed by
0:00:52 > 0:00:56a dozy giraffe singing a lullaby, when all of a sudden...
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Hrrr! Zzzz! Snort, snort!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03"What a hullabaloo!" said the giraffe,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05and decided to follow the noise.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08The leopard and the giraffe then met a baboon
0:01:08 > 0:01:12who was reading a bedtime story to the moon when all of a sudden...
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Hrrr! Zzzz! Snort, snort! Uh, uh!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20"What a hullabaloo!" said the baboon,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23and decided to follow the noise.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27The three animals followed the noise to check out all the fuss,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and discovered the source of this bedtime din,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32this clamour, this hubbub, this rumpus!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Under the still, starlit night they walked.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38The noise began to swell.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41More and more animals joined in the search
0:01:41 > 0:01:43to seek out the nuisance as well.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45There was a hat-wearing hyena, half-asleep,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48a music-making meerkat counting sheep,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51a zany zebra who was having a dream
0:01:51 > 0:01:53about sailing upon a sea of ice cream,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56a sleep-walking lion with bedraggled hair,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59an outraged ostrich clutching a teddy bear,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03and a polka-dot-pyjama-wearing water buffalo.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06So on they all walked, into the night,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08all sleepy and tired and very uptight.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Through the long giggling grass, past the tickling tree,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and when at last they came to a stop, what on earth did they see?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Not a raucous rhinoceros or a cacophonous hippopotamus,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24an ear-splitting elephant or a crazy monkey,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28but a tiny shrew wearing a pink tutu,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32snoring her head off very loudly.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Hrrr! Zzzz! Snort, snort! Uh, uh!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Something had to be done.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Leopard growled as loud as he could.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Giraffe bleated even louder.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Baboon screeched with all his might until...
0:02:46 > 0:02:51the terrible racket woke the shrew from her thunderous slumber.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54And all was quiet on the silly savannah,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57so quiet you couldn't hear a peep.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Until the silence was suddenly shattered
0:03:00 > 0:03:03by some animals fast asleep in a heap!
0:03:03 > 0:03:09Hrrr! Zzzz! Snort, snort! Uh, uh! Snuffle, snuffle!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11But not for long.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Clang! Clang! Clang!
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I don't think those animals are going to get any sleep tonight.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22And now it's time for you to get comfy too.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I'll see you soon for another bedtime story. Nighty-night.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30HE SNORES
