Simon Pegg - Love Monster CBeebies Bedtime Stories

Hello. I'm Simon, and these are my monster friends.

Everyone is welcome here in the CBeebies House, but sometimes,

things can feel as if they don't belong,

no matter how hard they try. In tonight's Bedtime Story,

there's a monster who goes on an adventure

to see if he can find what he's been looking for.

It's by Rachel Bright, and it's called Love Monster.

This is a monster. Hello, Monster.

I think you'll agree he's a little bit funny-looking, to say the least.

He lives in a world of cute, fluffy things,

which makes being funny-looking pretty darn hard.

You might have noticed that everybody loves kittens

and puppies and bunnies - you know, cute, fluffy things.

But nobody loves a slightly hairy, I suppose a bit googly-eyed monster.

Poor monster.

This might be enough to make a monster feel, well,

a bit down in the dumps,

but not being a moping-around sort, he decided to set out

and look for someone who'd love him just the way he was.

He looked high, he looked low, he looked middle-ish.

He looked inside and out.

More than once, he thought that maybe, just maybe,

he'd found what he was looking for, but as it turned out,

things were never quite the way they seemed.

Yes, it would be fair to say that his search did not go well.

And then it didn't go well some more.

It didn't go well for such a long time, in fact,

that it began to get dark and scary,

and, well, not very nice.

So the monster, having lost all his oomph,

decided it was time to give up and go home.

But in the blink of a googly eye, everything changed.

You see, sometimes, when you least expect it...

..love finds you.

That story was called Love Monster.

I'm so glad the monster found somebody to love him.

I think they'll be very happy together.

Have you made your toy happy with a hug? Go on.

Just a little hug before you go to bed,

and I'll see you soon for another bedtime story.

Goodnight.

So, who wants a hug first? Mmm?

How about you? You were built for hugs. Look at those arms.

He's been working out.
