0:00:06 > 0:00:09Hello there. My name's Mark,

0:00:09 > 0:00:14and I've got a lovely bedtime story for you all about a little zebra.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17It's called My Grandparents Love Me.

0:00:17 > 0:00:21It's by Claire Freedman with pictures by Judi Abbot.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26I'm off to Gran and Grandpa's with a big smile on my face.

0:00:26 > 0:00:30I always feel wrapped up in love when I stay at their place.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33Gran's big welcome hugs are warm.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37Whee! Grandpa swings me round.

0:00:37 > 0:00:43He laughs, "You're getting heavy!" as my feet fly off the ground.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47My room at Gran and Grandpa's house has special toys there, too.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50Gran smiles. "Have you looked on your bed?

0:00:50 > 0:00:54"You might find something new." Woohoo!

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Gran's baking is delicious. Yum!

0:00:58 > 0:01:01And when I munch and scoff more cakes than Mum would let me eat,

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Gran never tells me off.

0:01:05 > 0:01:11Out at the funfair's splish-splash ride, they don't mind getting wet.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Then off we go for ice creams...

0:01:13 > 0:01:14HE SLURPS

0:01:14 > 0:01:17..the biggest we can get!

0:01:17 > 0:01:21I don't know how Gran's handbag, which doesn't look that full,

0:01:21 > 0:01:26has all we need for our day out. It must be magical!

0:01:27 > 0:01:32It's great to help in Grandpa's shed. We build amazing things.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Gran hasn't seen our rocket. Shh!

0:01:35 > 0:01:39It's red with silver wings.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44Sometimes, my gran and grandpa will come to visit me.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48We all go out together then. It's so much fun. Yippee!

0:01:49 > 0:01:55Gran says I'll be a champion. She's teaching me to swim.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00With her beside me, I'm not scared. Now I can jump right in.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Back home, we all dress up and dance.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Gran puts loud music on whilst funny Grandpa jokes about

0:02:09 > 0:02:12and does the steps all wrong.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15"Let's read THIS story, Gran," I say.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18We snuggle in a chair.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Gran's silly voices make me laugh, pretending she's a bear.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24HE ROARS

0:02:24 > 0:02:30Warm from my bath and tucked in bed, I yawn. "I've had such fun."

0:02:30 > 0:02:33"Us, too." They smile and kiss.
