0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hello. I'm Isla.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Would you like to be big?
0:00:10 > 0:00:14As big as a bear or as enormous as an elephant?
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Our friend in tonight's Bedtime Story
0:00:16 > 0:00:21is desperate to be really, really big.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22The story's called Big,
0:00:22 > 0:00:26and is written and illustrated by Tim Hopgood.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28How big am I?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29I don't know.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32I can touch my toes.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34But I can't touch the sky.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Standing next to my friend, big Ben, I'm just little me.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44But I'm growing.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46I'm bigger than I used to be.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47I know that for sure.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51I can see my face in the bathroom mirror.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53But when will I be big?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Next to an ant, I'm a ginormous giant.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01But next to a bear, I'm really quite small.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I'm growing, I know I am.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Here's proof -
0:01:06 > 0:01:10my trousers don't reach down to my ankles any more.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13But when will I be big?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Next to a popcorn I'm massive.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I must be at least 500 popcorns tall.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23But next to these buildings I'm really quite small.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29I'm sure I'm getting longer.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33I can feel very end of my bed with my toes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38But when will I be big?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Compared with a mouse I'm gigantic.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But compared with an elephant I'm a titch.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I'm growing, I know I am.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52I can reach the light switch to turn on the light.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55But I wonder, when will I be big?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I'm growing, I know I am.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Here's all the proof I need -
0:02:01 > 0:02:03for the first time ever,
0:02:03 > 0:02:08I'm a tiny bit taller than my friend, big Ben.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Now I know I'm big.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13And one day I'll be even bigger than Dad,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and that's as big as big can be!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I hope you enjoyed that tall tale.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Our friend grew into a big, strong boy, didn't he?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28But remember, good things come in small packages too.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Now it's time to go to bed and dream big dreams.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I'll see you soon for another Bedtime Story.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Night-night.
