James McAvoy - The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet CBeebies Bedtime Stories

CBeebies Bedtime Story.

Hiya. I'm James. It's time for a Bedtime Story.

I hope you're sitting comfortably.

Tonight's story is called The Dinosaur That Pooped A Planet,

by Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Garry Parsons.

Danny and Dinosaur liked to have fun.

Some days they had lots, some days they had none.

One day, they were bored. They had no games to play.

Danny said, "Dinosaur, what shall we do today?"

"We could mow the lawn, we could tidy the place,

"we could do our chores, or we could go to space."

"You mustn't forget to have lunch", said their mummy.

"You cannot have fun without food in your tummy."

So, they packed a packed lunch for the Science Museum,

where rockets were kept, if you wanted to see them.

There were hundreds of rockets and spaceship surprises.

Tall ones, small ones of all shapes and sizes.

And one that was ready to launch,

with a door big enough for a boy and his pet dinosaur.

They ignored all the warnings. They couldn't care less.

They pressed all the things they shouldn't have pressed.

"T minus five, four, three, two, one. Ignition. Phwooo!"

They started their intergalactic space mission.

They flew higher than houses and buildings and cranes,

much higher than birds, even higher than planes. "We're in space!",

yelled Danny as they floated around.

But the dinosaur's tum made a rumbling sound.

RUMBLING

"Is it time to have lunch?" Danny looked at his watch,

then looked all around for the dino's lunchbox.

Danny started to worry, then he started to panic.

They'd left their packed lunches back home on their planet!

So, with no food on board, not the smallest of crumbs,

a disastrous dinosaur feast had begun.

It gobbled up gadgets and gizmos galore.

Nothing was safe from the space dinosaur.

Robots and ray guns and blinking red blinkers,

eating things thought up by NASA's great thinkers.

The hyperdrive gamma reactor machine was swallowed along

with a space tractor beam.

It chewed and it chomped on the spaceship controls.

The rocket was dotted with dino tooth holes!

Inside, it was bare.

The spaceship was empty. Outside, there were more things to eat.

There was plenty. It broke down the door with a cool ninja chop.

Out in space, dinosaurs are much harder to stop.

It chomped on the moon like a big chunk of cheese,

then shoved even more in its mouth with a squeeze.

It munched on the Martians from Mars and their cats.

Their cats our like ours but their cats wear cool hats.

Satellites, Saturns and six supernovas,

shape-shifting saucers and seven space rovers.

It guzzled five gallons of fuel from the tank,

and Danny's jaw dropped as he watched what it drank.

With a crunch and crack and a "nyum, nyum, nyum, nyum",

in one dino gulp, their rocket was gone.

Now nothing was left.

All Danny could see was a fat dinosaur where the rocket should be.

And so, they were stranded, with no way back home.

Just Danny and Dino in space all alone.

Now Danny was crying. He cried and he cried.

He cried and his tears filled his spacesuit inside.

Unless they were going to stay there for ever

the dinosaur needed to do something clever.

With a feeling of guilt deep down in his gut,

its brain brewed up a plan involving his butt.

It knew there was only one thing it could do.

To get them back home, it needed to...poo.

Like a poop-powered rocket, the dinosaur flew.

Dan hopped onto its back and watched as it pooped.

It pooped out the robots and ray guns and blinkers.

The things NASA's thinkers thought up were now stinkers.

It pooped out the moon, it pooped out the stars,

it pooped out the space rovers and Martians from Mars.

When Danny looked back,

he could see a poop trail from far out in space to the dinosaur's tail.

They headed for Earth and started to orbit.

It pooped on the clouds but they just absorbed it.

They flew past the buildings and streets of their town,

leaving the houses all smelly and brown, and finally landed back down

on the ground. "Hooray!", Danny cried, "We're home safe and sound!"

They looked at the sky, and the things that were pooped

had formed a poop planet right next to the moon.

And so, Danny promised to listen to Mummy,

because fun is not fun without food in your tummy.

And just when you thought all the pooping was done,

a Mars cat plopped out of the dinosaur's bum.

DANNY GASPS AND CAT MEOWS

That story was called The Dinosaur That Pooped A Planet.

And that's why you should never take your greedy dinosaur with you

when you go to outer space. Luckily for Danny, poo saved the day.

Now it's time for you to strap in to your rocket and zoom off to bed.

Sleep tight.
