Rosamund Pike - Never Ask a Dinosaur to Dinner CBeebies Bedtime Stories

CBeebies Bedtime Story.

Hello, I'm Rosamund.

Have you ever been told that somebody may be a bad influence?

Well, this story is about some animals who are ALL a bad influence.

Tonight's bedtime story is called Never Ask A Dinosaur To Dinner,

by Gareth Edwards and Guy Parker-Rees.

Never ask a dinosaur to dinner.

Really,

NEVER ask a dinosaur to dinner,

because a T Rex is ferocious

and his manners are atrocious... BURP!

..and you'll find that, if he's able,

he will EAT the kitchen table.

He'll grow fatter, while the rest of you grow thinner...

so NEVER ask a dinosaur to dinner.

Please don't share your toothbrush with a shark.

Really,

PLEASE don't share your toothbrush with a shark.

They've got so many rows of teeth, on the top AND underneath,

and any self-respecting shark'll want each little tooth to sparkle.

If you rush him, he may make a rude remark...

so PLEASE don't share your toothbrush with a shark.

Never let a beaver in the basin.

Really, NEVER let a beaver in the basin.

He'll block it up with sticks and mud...

and turn the taps on till they flood,

and build a great, BIG beaver dam,

and fill the whole thing up with salmon,

and it won't be very nice to wash your face in...

so NEVER let a beaver in the basin.

Please don't use a tiger as a towel.

Really,

PLEASE don't use a tiger as a towel

because in case you have forgotten, tigers are NOT made of cotton

and although they are furred quite thickly,

they can get cross VERY quickly

and you'll find they have a rather scary growl...

GROWLING

..so please don't use a tiger as a towel.

Never choose a bison for a blanket.

Really,

NEVER choose a bison for a blanket

because although it's warm and woolly

you'll find it is a bully

and its hooves will be too clumpy,

and its horns will make you grumpy,

and by morning time you will not want to thank it...

so never choose a bison for a blanket.

Please don't let a barn owl in your bed.

Really, PLEASE don't let a barn owl in your bed.

Because the first thing that you'll learn'll be

a barn owl is nocturnal.

She will hunt for voles and hoot all night

and leave your bed a DREADFUL sight. OWL HOOTS

You'll wish that owl was in a barn instead...

so PLEASE don't let a barn owl in your bed.

Now, here's how you can have a lovely sleep.

Really,

HERE'S how you can have a lovely sleep.

Say NO to beaver, shark and owl.

Avoid the tiger and his growl.

Steer clear of every dinosaur.

Leave bison at the bedroom door.

These animals won't help you rest.

At bedtime,

here's what's best.

Stick to ONE teddy.

And...

a flock of sheep. BAAA!

And that's how you can have a lovely sleep.

BAAA!

THAT was Never Ask A Dinosaur To Dinner.

Now I thought that dinosaur looked like he might be quite fun.

Now it's time for you to snuggle up with your favourite teddy

and float off to the land of dreams.

Night, night.

SNORING

WHIZ!
