Isla Fisher - Big CBeebies Bedtime Stories

Hello. I'm Isla.

Would you like to be big?

As big as a bear or as enormous as an elephant?

Our friend in tonight's Bedtime Story

is desperate to be really, really big.

The story's called Big,

and is written and illustrated by Tim Hopgood.

How big am I?

I don't know.

I can touch my toes.

But I can't touch the sky.

Standing next to my friend, big Ben, I'm just little me.

But I'm growing.

I'm bigger than I used to be.

I know that for sure.

I can see my face in the bathroom mirror.

But when will I be big?

Next to an ant, I'm a ginormous giant.

But next to a bear, I'm really quite small.

I'm growing, I know I am.

Here's proof -

my trousers don't reach down to my ankles any more.

But when will I be big?

Next to a popcorn I'm massive.

I must be at least 500 popcorns tall.

But next to these buildings I'm really quite small.

I'm sure I'm getting longer.

I can feel very end of my bed with my toes.

But when will I be big?

Compared with a mouse I'm gigantic.

But compared with an elephant I'm a titch.

I'm growing, I know I am.

I can reach the light switch to turn on the light.

But I wonder, when will I be big?

I'm growing, I know I am.

Here's all the proof I need -

for the first time ever,

I'm a tiny bit taller than my friend, big Ben.

Now I know I'm big.

And one day I'll be even bigger than Dad,

and that's as big as big can be!

I hope you enjoyed that tall tale.

Our friend grew into a big, strong boy, didn't he?

But remember, good things come in small packages too.

Now it's time to go to bed and dream big dreams.

I'll see you soon for another Bedtime Story.

Night-night.
