Hello, I'm David.

0:00:060:00:08

I hope you're nice and warm,

0:00:080:00:11

because I have a story to read you about somewhere very cold.

0:00:110:00:15

It's a story called The Bear Who Went Boo.

0:00:150:00:19

And it's by David Walliams.

0:00:190:00:23

That's me!

0:00:230:00:24

And the illustrations are drawn by Tony Ross.

0:00:240:00:27

That isn't me.

0:00:270:00:29

At the top of the world lived a very cheeky polar bear.

0:00:290:00:34

He was only little, but he loved giving the other animals

0:00:340:00:38

a big fright.

0:00:380:00:41

Slowly and silently he would creep up behind them

0:00:410:00:46

before going, "Boo!"

0:00:460:00:50

The poor creatures would shriek

0:00:500:00:52

as the little cub would roll around, hooting with laughter.

0:00:520:00:56

The little cub's mama would ask him time and time again,

0:00:570:01:02

"How would you like it if someone went, 'Boo,' to you?"

0:01:020:01:06

But he wouldn't listen.

0:01:070:01:09

All the little cub longed for was to be big and fearsome like his papa.

0:01:090:01:14

Grrr!

0:01:140:01:16

One morning, a helicopter was spotted in the sky.

0:01:160:01:21

News spread across the ice

0:01:210:01:24

that a man was coming to the Arctic to make a television show.

0:01:240:01:29

The animals were going to be famous!

0:01:290:01:32

They began making themselves look beautiful for the cameras.

0:01:320:01:37

A wrinkly walrus wanted to top up his tan.

0:01:370:01:40

He decided to sunbathe in the nude.

0:01:400:01:44

The little cub crept up behind the walrus.

0:01:440:01:49

"Boo!"

0:01:490:01:51

"Aaah!"

0:01:510:01:52

The walrus was so shocked, he kicked up his back flippers.

0:01:520:01:57

His tusks became skis as he zoomed across the snow!

0:01:570:02:02

Whiz!

0:02:020:02:03

Meanwhile, a platoon of puffins preened their feathers.

0:02:030:02:08

Time to do boo two.

0:02:080:02:12

"Boo!"

0:02:130:02:14

"Caw, caw, caw!"

0:02:140:02:16

Startled, the puffins all tried to take flight at once!

0:02:160:02:20

Wings walloped.

0:02:200:02:22

Beaks bashed.

0:02:220:02:23

"Caw, caw, caw!"

0:02:230:02:25

And the poor birds crashed headfirst into an iceberg.

0:02:250:02:29

Wallop!

0:02:290:02:31

There was no stopping the little cub now.

0:02:310:02:35

Next, he sawed a hole in the ice sheet with his paw,

0:02:350:02:39

before diving down into the freezing water below.

0:02:390:02:43

Time to do an underwater boo.

0:02:430:02:47

But to who?

0:02:470:02:48

The little cub spied a pair of killer whales

0:02:480:02:52

practising a synchronised swimming routine,

0:02:520:02:55

ready for the cameras.

0:02:550:02:57

"Boo!"

0:02:570:02:59

The killer whales smashed through the ice sheet,

0:02:590:03:02

up, up, up into the air.

0:03:020:03:04

Blub, blub, blub.

0:03:040:03:07

The first belly flopped onto the ice.

0:03:070:03:10

Then, the more blubbery of the two landed on top of his poor friend.

0:03:100:03:15

Boing, boing, boing!

0:03:150:03:18

As the sun was setting, over the Arctic, the cheeky little cub

0:03:200:03:24

spotted a very odd-looking animal he had never seen before.

0:03:240:03:29

"This snowy owl..."

0:03:300:03:33

He couldn't resist one final "Boo!"

0:03:330:03:37

Splash!

0:03:370:03:38

The poor man leapt backwards and fell with a giant plop into the sea.

0:03:380:03:44

"No!"

0:03:440:03:46

The water was so cold that when he clambered out,

0:03:460:03:50

he was encased in a block of ice.

0:03:500:03:53

The man was furious.

0:03:530:03:55

His face glowed bright red like a tomato,

0:03:550:03:59

and the ice soon began to melt.

0:03:590:04:02

"In all my years, I have never met such a badly behaved animal!

0:04:020:04:06

"I've had an octopus tickle me,

0:04:060:04:10

"been sat on by a rhinoceros,

0:04:100:04:14

"and once, a family of gorillas ate my underpants!

0:04:140:04:18

"But you are the worst!

0:04:200:04:22

"Right. I'm reporting you. Species?"

0:04:220:04:27

"Um...

0:04:270:04:29

"Penguin," fibbed the little cub.

0:04:290:04:32

"You're not a penguin!

0:04:320:04:34

"Penguins live in the Antarctic, not the Arctic."

0:04:340:04:37

"Um... OK, polar bear."

0:04:370:04:41

"Yes, and a tiny one at that.

0:04:410:04:45

"Well, you have ruined it for all the other animals.

0:04:450:04:49

"I am not making my television show here now.

0:04:490:04:52

"I'll go to the Antarctic and make one about penguins.

0:04:520:04:56

"People like penguins.

0:04:560:04:58

"Penguins are nice."

0:04:580:05:00

"What?!"

0:05:000:05:02

As the little cub watched the helicopter leave,

0:05:020:05:05

all the animals gathered.

0:05:050:05:07

Now they were going to miss their moment of fame.

0:05:070:05:12

"It's time to teach that little bear a big lesson."

0:05:120:05:16

That night, the little cub trudged slowly back home.

0:05:170:05:22

But as he entered his snow cave,

0:05:220:05:25

"Boo!"

0:05:250:05:26

The little cub's fur stood up on end,

0:05:260:05:29

as if he'd been hit by a bolt of lightning.

0:05:290:05:31

"Aaaah!"

0:05:310:05:33

Mama Bear was right - he didn't like it one bit.

0:05:330:05:38

The little cub had learned a big lesson.

0:05:380:05:43

From that moment on, he promised never, ever to go, "Boo!" again.

0:05:430:05:50

Well...

0:05:500:05:52

Maybe one last time.

0:05:520:05:54

"Boo!"

0:05:540:05:56

It's hard to stop doing something naughty

0:05:570:06:00

when it's that much fun, isn't it?

0:06:000:06:02

But hopefully the little cub will think

0:06:020:06:05

about how he treats his friends a bit more now.

0:06:050:06:08

It's time to snuggle up warm and hibernate.

0:06:080:06:11

Well, maybe don't hibernate.

0:06:110:06:13

But do go to sleep, just for tonight.

0:06:130:06:16

Sweet dreams.
