0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello. I'm Edith.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Are you almost ready for bed?
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Have you had a bath?
0:00:14 > 0:00:18It's bath time in tonight's bedtime story,
0:00:18 > 0:00:20but Livi has other ideas.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22This story is called On My Way To The Bath
0:00:22 > 0:00:25and it's by Sarah Maizes and Michael Paraskevas.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- AS MOTHER:- Bath time!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31- AS LIVI:- I do not want to have a bath.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Baths are boring.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Everything is more fun than baths.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- AS MOTHER:- Come on, Livi. Let's go.
0:00:40 > 0:00:45- AS LIVI:- On my way to the bath, I slither off the sofa.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47I am a snake!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52I slink, I slide.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I stick my tongue out at my brother.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- AS MOTHER:- Now!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01- AS LIVI:- On my way to the bath,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I see my blocks on the sitting room floor.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05I will make a statue.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08It will be a statue of me holding a cat.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- AS MOTHER:- Today, Livi.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- AS LIVI:- On my way to the bath, I do a cartwheel.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I am a professional gymnastics girl.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I bend, I balance and stretch.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Watch me do a perfect split.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- AS MOTHER:- I need you in the bath!
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- AS LIVI:- On my way to the bath, I see my sister in her room.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33She's listening to music.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Hey, I can sing that song just like a rock star.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39# La-la-la, laaaa! #
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I will put on a show.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- AS MOTHER:- The water is getting cold!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- AS LIVI:- On my way to the bath, I pass the guinea pigs,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Leo and Mellie, my loyal minions.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52It's time to plan our latest caper.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55They will help me rule the world.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- AS MOTHER:- Get in the bath now!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- AS LIVI:- On my way to the bath, I march.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I'm in a parade. I play the tuba.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09As I march down the street, the crowd goes wild for my tuba solo.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12PRETENDS TO PLAY TUBA
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- AS MOTHER:- I mean it, do you hear me?
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- AS LIVI:- On my way to the bath, I pass through a jungle,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23a thick, dark jungle. I'm looking for sloths.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Oh, no! Quicksand!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I swing to safety.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- AS MOTHER:- I'm counting to ten!
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- AS LIVI:- On my way to the bath, I hide behind the bathroom door.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37I am a jungle cat.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I see an unsuspecting hedgehog.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- AS MOTHER:- One, two, three...
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- AS LIVI:- I wait, I watch.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- AS MOTHER:- Four, five, six...
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- AS LIVI:- I sneak, I stalk.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- AS MOTHER:- Seven, eight, nine...
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- AS LIVI:- I pounce! Rawwwrrrr!
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- AS MOTHER:- Ahh!
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Ten. Get in!
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- AS LIVI:- I get in.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I play, I use soap,
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I use my seahorse flannel to get very, very clean.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Even my toes are clean.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Toes are my seahorse's speciality.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- AS MOTHER:- OK, Livi, time to get out.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Livi?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- AS LIVI:- I am a shark.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34That story was called On My Way To The Bath.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Livi had a lot of adventures on her way to the bath
0:03:37 > 0:03:41and I think she had fun when she eventually got in the bath, too.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Don't you?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Perhaps you'll play make-believe tomorrow, but right now, off you go
0:03:47 > 0:03:51and get tucked up in bed, and no imaginary adventures on the way!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Sleep tight and I'll see you again very soon.
