0:24:50 > 0:24:57.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12Well, of course, these would be good for ballet...

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Oh, hello. I'm Lulu.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Look at all of these shoes!

0:25:17 > 0:25:21Ballet shoes, tap shoes, very sparkly ballroom shoes.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24There's a type of shoe for every kind of dancing.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28And there are feet for different kinds of dancing too.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Feet with good toes, feet with naughty toes too.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Which kind of toes do you have?

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Well, there's a girl in tonight's bedtime story

0:25:37 > 0:25:40who is still working out what kind she has.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43The story is by Ann Bonwill and Teresa Murfin

0:25:43 > 0:25:46and is called Naughty Toes.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53My sister Belinda is a ballerina. I, Trixie, am not.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57When we go to do Davida's dance shop to pick out our leotards,

0:25:57 > 0:26:02shoes and socks, Belinda picks up classic pink and white.

0:26:02 > 0:26:08I pick red and purple and green. "Are you sure?" asks Mum.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12"I'm sure," I say. "It's got style," I say.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16But the next day in class, I'm not so sure.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20Madame Mina walks round the room and looks at our feet.

0:26:20 > 0:26:25"Point," she says. "Turn out," she says.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28"Good toes," she says to Belinda.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30"Naughty toes," she says to me.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Madame Mina claps to the beat while Mr Tiempo

0:26:34 > 0:26:37plays the music on his sunny yellow piano.

0:26:37 > 0:26:431-2-3, 1-2-3. Somehow, I'm always on four.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46"Naughty toes," I hear above the notes of the piano.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50Before our next class, Dad does our hair in front of the mirror.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54He brushes Belinda's hair straight back into a bun,

0:26:54 > 0:26:56all neat and tidy.

0:26:56 > 0:27:01She looks like a swan. Mine sticks out all over like dandelion fuzz.

0:27:01 > 0:27:07Dad sighs a long sigh as he tries to tuck in the ends.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10"Never mind," I say. "It's unique," I say.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13In class, we do expressive dance.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17"Sway like flowers," says Madame Mina.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20"Flutter like butterflies."

0:27:20 > 0:27:24It's hard to be a flower when you need to go to the toilet.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27"Float like clouds," says Madame Mina,

0:27:27 > 0:27:30and I spin round the room like a dust cloud,

0:27:30 > 0:27:34clap like a thundercloud, whoosh like a rain cloud,

0:27:34 > 0:27:36smack straight into Brendan.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40"What were you thinking?" asks Madame Mina.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43"I was a cloud with gusto," I say, before I hang my head.

0:27:43 > 0:27:47I think I see Mr Tiempo smiling.

0:27:47 > 0:27:52"Your palms are spotlights," says Madame Mina,

0:27:52 > 0:27:55"shining brightly on your face."

0:27:55 > 0:27:59I wave mine around so they'll sparkle on me like a disco ball.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03"Trixie," says Madame Mina in a very loud voice.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06"It's jazzy," I say in a very quiet voice.

0:28:06 > 0:28:11Mr Tiempo is definitely smiling now.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14After class, Mum takes us out for ice cream.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17Belinda orders plain vanilla and eats it without drips.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21I order pink bubblegum swirl and try to eat it very carefully

0:28:21 > 0:28:24but somehow it spills.

0:28:24 > 0:28:28Maybe I should have picked the pink leotard after all.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32When it's time for the show, Belinda is the fairy princess.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35She wears a blue sequinned tutu and twirls on the stage.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37I am a rock.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40I'm all in grey and stand still on the stage.

0:28:40 > 0:28:44It's hard to show spirit when you're a rock.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Afterwards we go backstage.

0:28:46 > 0:28:50There's a bouquet of pink roses waiting for Belinda.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53It has a note that says, "For my prima ballerina

0:28:53 > 0:28:56"with love from Madame Mina."

0:28:56 > 0:29:00For me, there's a cardboard box tied up with red string.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03It has a note that says,

0:29:03 > 0:29:06"Follow your feet."

0:29:06 > 0:29:07I peek inside.

0:29:07 > 0:29:14My sister Belinda is a ballerina. I, Trixie, am a tap dancer.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22That story was called Naughty Toes.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Do you have naughty toes like Trixie too?

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Well, maybe you'll make a good tap dancer too.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31What kind of toes do you think I have?

0:29:31 > 0:29:34I think they're kinda cool toes.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37But there isn't any time for tap dancing just now

0:29:37 > 0:29:39as it's time for you to rest your feet.

0:29:39 > 0:29:43Close your eyes and go to sleep.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45I'll see you soon for another bedtime story.

0:29:45 > 0:29:49Sleep tight. Good night.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52I wonder if these shoes will help me to dance,

0:29:52 > 0:29:55with good toes, naughty toes...
