0:07:08 > 0:07:10Mmm. That's a lovely hug.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Just perfect.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15I don't know what you mean, Panda.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Oh, hello. I'm Phina.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Panda didn't like the hug that Teddy gave him.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23I don't know why.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Do you like hugs? I do.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28A hug can make you feel really special,

0:07:28 > 0:07:32but Panda hasn't found his perfect hug yet.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Maybe tonight's bedtime story will help.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37It's by Joanna Walsh and Judi Abbott

0:07:37 > 0:07:40and it's called The Perfect Hug.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43There are hugs for wrigglers and hugs for gigglers.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47Hugs that are tickly and hugs that are prickly.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50But none is exactly the right hug for me.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53I'm out to find the perfect kind.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55How big is a hug?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Bug may mean well,

0:07:57 > 0:08:01but how can I feel his tiny squeeze around my knees?

0:08:01 > 0:08:04A boa constrictor's hug's a bit stricter

0:08:04 > 0:08:06than any sort of hug ought to be.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08At least for me.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12A hug from a grizzly can be big and scary.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Grin and bear it, but do be wary.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19Then there's the question of arms. What's too many?

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Some have lots and some not any.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26And what about a jellyfish with all those stingers?

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'd hug her with rubber gloves on my fingers.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34None of these hugs is quite the height for, not too tight for,

0:08:34 > 0:08:36oh so right for me, but...

0:08:36 > 0:08:39could there be hugs light years from here?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Hugs we know nothing about?

0:08:41 > 0:08:45Far out on the stars on the galaxy far, far away?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47How do they hug the Milky Way way?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49I've tried them all.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Short and tall, big and small,

0:08:51 > 0:08:53fantastic hugs, elastic hugs,

0:08:53 > 0:08:56gymnastic enthusiastic hugs, but...

0:08:56 > 0:09:00where will I find one that's just my size?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03One that will suit me down to the ground?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06One that will fit me all the way round?

0:09:06 > 0:09:11I've roved the wide seas over and under and STILL I wonder.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Do you suppose there might be a hug...

0:09:14 > 0:09:17right under my nose?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19What's the secret?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Tell!

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Well, it's easy-peasy, don't you know?

0:09:25 > 0:09:29It's one, plus one.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31A hug takes two.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35If you hug me, then I'll hug you.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39And that story was called The Perfect Hug.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43I'm glad Panda found a hug that was just right.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Why don't you find someone to hug right now?

0:09:47 > 0:09:49A hug before bed is lovely,

0:09:49 > 0:09:51and while you find the perfect hug,

0:09:51 > 0:09:54I'll give the Panda a big cuddle, too.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58See you soon for another bedtime story.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Night-night, sweet dreams.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Right then, Panda.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06There you go. Is that better?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Good night.
