Ben Faulks - Where's My Teddy? CBeebies Bedtime Stories

CBeebies Bedtime Story!

Hello, my name's Ben.

And this is my teddy.

Do you have a teddy or a favourite cuddly toy?

Well, I like giving my bear a good squeeze. Mm-hm!

And in tonight's Bedtime Story, a little boy loses his teddy.

Would you like to hear what happens? Would you? Yeah?

The story is called "Where's My Teddy?" by Jez Alborough.

Eddie's off to find his teddy.

Eddie's teddy's name is Freddy.

He lost him in the woods somewhere.

It's dark and horrible in there.

"Help!" said Eddie. "I'm scared already!

"I want my bed! I want my teddy!"

He tiptoed on and on until

something made him stop quite still.

"Look out," he thought. "There's something there!"

"What's that? A giant teddy bear?!"

"Is it Freddy?" said Eddie.

"What a surprise!

"How did you get to be this size?

"You're too big to huddle and cuddle," he said.

"And I'll never fit both of us into my bed."

Then, out of the darkness, clearer and clearer,

the sound of sobbing came nearer and nearer.

Soon the whole world could hear the voice fall.

"How did you get to be tiddly and small?

"You're too small to huddle and cuddle!" it said.

"And you'll only get lost in my giant-sized bed!"

It was a gigantic bear and a tiddly teddy

stomping towards the giant teddy, and Eddie!

"My ted!" gasped the bear.

"A bear?!" screamed Eddie.

"A boy?!" yelled the bear.

"My teddy!" cried Eddie.

Then they ran and they ran through the dark wood

back to their homes, as quick as they could.

All the way back to their snuggly beds

where they huddled and cuddled their own little teds.

That story was called, "Where's My Teddy?"

HE SIGHS

I was so happy when Eddie found Freddy. Weren't you? Yeah?

Well, now it's time

to cuddle up with your teddy or your favourite toy.

Cuddle, snuggle, make yourself cosy and warm

and let yourself drift off into the land of dreams.

Night-night. Sleep tight.

We'll go to sleep. OK.
