0:00:05 > 0:00:12.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Hello, I'm Stephen.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Are you ready for a story?
0:00:26 > 0:00:30And are you snuggling up with your favourite toy?
0:00:30 > 0:00:36Little Annie in tonight's bedtime story just loves her snuggles.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39This story is called The Snuggle Sandwich,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42and it's by Malachy Doyle and Gwen Millward.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48It's quiet in the morning, when there's no-one else around.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Annie lies in bed and listens.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56HE WHISPERS There's not a single sound!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58It's cold out on the landing,
0:00:58 > 0:01:00as she's peeping round the doors.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Her mama's smiling back at her,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05and Papa only snores.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Annie climbs up Mama's tummy
0:01:10 > 0:01:12and she wiggles down in bed.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15They're a cosy snuggle sandwich.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18She's the jam and they're the bread.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24Then she and Mama tiptoe to the kitchen, down the stair.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30Mama lights the gas and warms the milk for her and Edward Bear.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Mama shouts to wake the others,
0:01:33 > 0:01:34"Get up!" We hear her roar.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38So only Annie's watching when her teddy hits the floor.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Poor old Edward! Sad and all alone.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Annie didn't mean to drop you on the cold, hard stone!
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Here comes Annie's papa in his tidy suit and tie.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56He's singing and he's joking. He's a happy morning guy!
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Next, there's Annie's sister, rushing to get ready.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03She finds her bag and hat and coat,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06but no-one finds poor Teddy.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08In stomps the noisy one,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10her teenage brother, Joe.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12He turns on the radio
0:02:12 > 0:02:14as loud as it'll go!
0:02:14 > 0:02:19They're all bashing around the kitchen, crashing up and down.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21And suddenly, they're gone,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24as Papa's car roars off to town.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27At last, her mama hears her.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29"Oh, have you lost your bear?"
0:02:29 > 0:02:34She lifts her from her high chair. They're searching everywhere.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36He isn't on the table,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38he isn't on the floor.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42He isn't in the kitchen sink, he's not outside the door!
0:02:42 > 0:02:43He isn't on the landing,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and he isn't in the bed!
0:02:45 > 0:02:49He's in the doggy basket,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52snuggled up with Fred!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54It's quiet in the morning.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Now Teddy's back again.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The morning rush is over.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Annie's favourite time is when
0:03:02 > 0:03:04there's only her and Mama.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07No more fuss and clutter.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Now THEY'RE the snuggle sandwich,
0:03:10 > 0:03:15and Ted's the peanut butter! HE LAUGHS
0:03:16 > 0:03:19And that story was called The Snuggle Sandwich.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Shall we try making a snuggle sandwich
0:03:22 > 0:03:24with two of our favourite toys?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Eh?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Oh, here we go!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Snuggle tight.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Oh, feels good, doesn't it?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Maybe you could have a snuggle sandwich
0:03:35 > 0:03:38with your toys in bed tonight.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Have sweet dreams, and I'll see you soon
0:03:40 > 0:03:42for another bedtime story.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Night night.
