Anne-Marie Duff - Pip and Posy: The Bedtime Frog CBeebies Bedtime Stories

Hello, I'm Anne-Marie.

And this is Teddy.

Do you have a favourite teddy or toy?

In tonight's bedtime story, Posy has a favourite cuddly toy.

Would you like to hear about it?

Great!

This story is called Pip and Posy: The Bedtime Frog by Axel Scheffler.

Posy was going to stay at Pip's house.

She packed up her suitcase very carefully.

She didn't want to forget anything.

Then she got on the bus. She was very excited.

Pip was really happy to see Posy. "Hi, Posy", he called.

"Hello, Pip", giggled Posy.

Pip and Posy had lots of fun.

They played with Pip's cars. They played with the farm.

And then they played a game called pirates in hospital. Ha-ha, ha-har!

They ate spaghetti. Slurp!

They had a bubbly bath, brushed their teeth,

and they read a funny story.

After that, it was time for bed.

"Aaaaah, night-night, Posy", said Pip as he cuddled up with his Piggy.

"Sweet dreams, Pip", said Posy.

They switched off their lights.

Pip was very nearly asleep when he heard a voice.

"Froggy", said the voice.

It was Posy. "I've forgotten Froggy", she sniffed.

"I can't sleep without my Froggy!"

Pip turned his light back on again.

"Erm, would you like this teddy, Posy?" he said.

"It's not green", she said. "My frog is green."

"Wold you like my dinosaur? He's green."

"No!" said Posy,

"That dinosaur is too big and too scary."

"Erm, what about my frog money box?" said Pip. "No!" said Posy.

"That is the wrong frog!"

Posy cried and cried and cried.

Oh, dear. Poor Posy.

Pip thought for a moment, then he did a very difficult thing.

"Would you like Piggy, Posy?" he said.

Posy stopped crying.

Piggy was an extremely nice pig.

"Yes, please, Pip", she said.

Soon Pip was asleep. And so was Posy.

And the next day, when Posy went home to her house,

she found her frog exactly where she had left him.

Hurray!

That story was Pip and Posy: The Bedtime Frog.

It was very kind of Pip to let Posy borrow Piggy, wasn't it?

Ohhhh!

Now it's time for you to cuddle up with your favourite cuddly toy.

And settle down to sleep.

Night-night. Sleep tight.
