So, this animal has a long, skinny tail and big ears.

0:58:070:58:12

And so does this one.

0:58:120:58:14

But they are not the same type of animal.

0:58:140:58:17

Hello, I am Floella.

0:58:170:58:19

Do you know what kind of animals these are?

0:58:190:58:23

Well, maybe one of our books can help us.

0:58:230:58:26

In tonight's bedtime story,

0:58:260:58:29

Nelly is a little bit confused about what kind of animal she is

0:58:290:58:34

and looks for the answer in the wrong place.

0:58:340:58:37

This story is by Pippa Goodhart

0:58:370:58:40

and Andy Rowland and it is called Little Nelly's Big Book.

0:58:400:58:45

Little Nelly looked in a book

0:58:450:58:49

and found out that she was a mouse.

0:58:490:58:54

"Mice can be white, grey..." Oh, tick!

0:58:540:58:59

"..brown, black.

0:58:590:59:01

"Mice have big ears," tick.

0:59:010:59:05

"Mice have skinny tails," tick.

0:59:050:59:09

After all that reading, Little Nelly was tired.

0:59:090:59:14

SHE YAWNS

0:59:140:59:17

I need somewhere to sleep.

0:59:170:59:20

Little Nelly looked in the book again.

0:59:200:59:23

And she read, "Mice have homes behind holes in skirting boards."

0:59:230:59:30

So, Little Nelly went home.

0:59:300:59:33

"Hello," said Little Nelly.

0:59:330:59:36

"I am a new mouse for your house."

0:59:360:59:39

"Er? You're rather big for a mouse," said Mickey.

0:59:390:59:44

"I am not," said Little Nelly.

0:59:440:59:48

"If I'm a big mouse, why am I called Little Nelly?"

0:59:480:59:54

"I don't think you're a mouse at all," said Mickey.

0:59:540:59:59

"I am!" Said Little Nelly, "I am!

0:59:591:00:04

"I looked in a book and it says that I am."

1:00:041:00:08

"Never mind what anybody says, Little Nelly," says Granny Mouse.

1:00:081:00:14

"You are very welcome here.

1:00:141:00:16

"We'll look after you." And they did.

1:00:161:00:20

Little Nelly fitted in very well.

1:00:211:00:24

But even though the other mice were kind to her,

1:00:241:00:27

Little Nelly sometimes felt she was...

1:00:271:00:31

different somehow.

1:00:311:00:33

And she did get terribly hungry.

1:00:331:00:36

Granny Mouse saw how things were and she had an idea.

1:00:361:00:42

"Little Nelly, I have been asking around and I have found out

1:00:421:00:48

"that there are some other mice who are rather like you.

1:00:481:00:52

"Most of them live far away, but some live in a zoo nearby."

1:00:521:00:59

"Really?" said Little Nelly. "Can we go and see them? Please!"

1:00:591:01:05

"Of course," said Granny Mouse.

1:01:051:01:08

They all set off for the zoo.

1:01:091:01:12

"Wow! Look at them!" said Mickey.

1:01:121:01:17

"They are just like you, Little Nelly,

1:01:171:01:19

"only zoo mice are even bigger!"

1:01:191:01:24

"I told you that I was little," said Little Nelly.

1:01:241:01:28

The zoo mice were kind and nice to the visiting mice.

1:01:281:01:33

There were big helpings of food and other stuff.

1:01:331:01:37

"Would you like to live here with us?" asked the zoo mice.

1:01:371:01:43

"Yes, please," said Little Nelly.

1:01:431:01:47

"We can all be zoo mice!"

1:01:471:01:51

Just then, Mickey came running.

1:01:511:01:54

"Look, Little Nelly! Look what I found out from your book."

1:01:541:01:59

"What is it?" asked Little Nelly.

1:01:591:02:02

"I found out that I am not a mouse after all," said Mickey.

1:02:021:02:07

"Really? Then, what are you?"

1:02:071:02:11

"I am an elephant," said Mickey.

1:02:111:02:16

"Elephants can be brown, grey..." Tick.

1:02:161:02:20

"Elephants have big ears," tick.

1:02:201:02:23

"Elephants have skinny tails," tick.

1:02:231:02:27

"Oh, that's interesting," said Little Nelly.

1:02:271:02:31

"But Mickey, even though you aren't a mouse like me,

1:02:311:02:36

"I'll still be your friend."

1:02:361:02:40

"Thanks, little Nelly," said Mickey.

1:02:401:02:43

Which just goes to show why books should always have pictures.

1:02:431:02:49

That story was called Little Nelly's Big Book.

1:02:501:02:54

I think Nelly and Mickey are still very confused, don't you?

1:02:541:02:59

Of course, this is a mouse and this is an elephant.

1:02:591:03:04

But they both are ready to snuggle down for a good night's sleep.

1:03:041:03:09

Are you? Well, I'll see you soon for another bedtime story.

1:03:091:03:14

Night-night and sweet dreams.
