Lucky Wish Mouse - Sweet Dreams CBeebies Bedtime Stories

.

Hello, I'm Stacey and welcome to CBeebies Bedtime Hour.

I'm getting everyone ready for bed.

Mr Robot and Buttons are tucked up, but where's Little Teddy?

Come on, Little Teddy. Time for you to go to bed, too.

Now, have I got everyone? I think so. That was easy.

I've got everybody snuggled up and ready for a story.

I know someone else who's getting everyone ready for bed

and that's Lucky Wish Mouse,

but it's taking her a very long time.

This story is by Clara Vulliamy

and it's called Lucky Wish Mouse: Sweet Dreams.

This is Lucky Wish Mouse.

These are the Ten Tinies.

It's night time, but no-one's ready for bed.

"Come along, Tinies!" says Lucky Wish Mouse.

But one Tiny has lost her special blanket -

dropped in the river and swept faraway.

So Lucky Wish Mouse must set sail in a teacup

to bring it safely back.

So, that's one Tiny tucked up in bed.

Another Tiny is still hungry,

but after some buttered crumpets, he gets into bed.

And now that's two Tinies tucked up.

Three Tinies are camping out.

"We shall stay out all night!"

"Do Tinies like picnic breakfasts better?" asked Lucky Wish Mouse.

And that's three, four, five Tinies tucked up in bed.

But this Tiny is worrying. "My ears are too big."

"Just the right size for the special crown," says Lucky Wish Mouse.

And now that's six.

Lucky Wish Mouse must just scoop up the twins and find

the tiniest hot water bottle for the tiniest Tiny who, has a tummy ache.

And that's seven, eight, nine Tinies tucked up in bed.

But the last Tiny is missing.

There's no sign of him in any of the usual places.

He isn't outside all alone, is he?

"Tinies!" says Lucky Wish Mouse.

"That tea cosy is moving.

"What ever were you hiding for?" asks Lucky Wish.

"I am frightened," said the last tiny, pointing.

"It's a ghostie!"

"It's just a dressing gown hanging up," says Lucky Wish Mouse.

"I'm still frightened. I don't like the dark."

Now all of the Tinies are out of bed.

"I'm frightened, too."

"I don't like the dark. "It's spooky."

"Come with me, Tinies," says Lucky Wish Mouse.

"What can you see?"

"I can see the moon," says one Tiny.

"And all the twinkly stars," says another.

"I can see the sky. So big, going on for ever and ever."

"Night time is full of sweet dreams," says Lucky Wish Mouse.

"Not scary at all!" say the Tinies.

And it's time to go back inside.

The last Tiny is last, still looking up at the darkness.

And now that's ten Tinies tucked up in bed,

but they're still wide awake.

So Lucky Wish Mouse must fly far, far above the treetops

and find the tiniest star to bring the sweet dreams magic home.

At last, with the tiny light of the tiniest star,

the Tinies are closing their eyes and going to sleep.

Good night. Sweet dreams.

That story was called Lucky Wish Mouse: Sweet Dreams.

Are you tucked up tightly, just like the Ten Tinies? Oh, good.

Well, close your eyes now as it's time to go to sleep

and have sweet dreams under the tiniest star.

I'll see you again soon for another story.
