0:00:06 > 0:00:09Hey there, I'm Eddie, and I love animals.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Tonight's bedtime story is about a little girl
0:00:12 > 0:00:14who wants a really big pet.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15CAT MEOWS
0:00:15 > 0:00:17No, bigger than a cat.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18TIGER ROARS
0:00:18 > 0:00:20No, much bigger than a tiger.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22DINOSAUR ROARS
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Yeah, that's more like it.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Hi, Greg!
0:00:25 > 0:00:28So the story is called If I Had A Dinosaur,
0:00:28 > 0:00:33and it's written by Gabby Dawnay, with drawings by Alex Barrow.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38I do like dogs. I've got a cat.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40A fish is far too wet.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Because, you see, I really want a different sort of pet.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I thought about a hamster, I thought about a mouse.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51But I want a pet much bigger, more the size of...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53..well, a house.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58I really want a giant pet, enormous, big and strong,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02with a body broad and solid and a tail that's super-long.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08If I had a dinosaur, I'd teach him lots of tricks,
0:01:08 > 0:01:13like how to roll and how to sit and fetch and carry sticks.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17If I had a dinosaur, I'd walk him in the park.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I wonder if my dinosaur would roar,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22or would he bark?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25If I had a dinosaur, he'd carry me to school,
0:01:25 > 0:01:31and all my friends would shout, "Oh, wow! Your dinosaur is cool!"
0:01:31 > 0:01:34My dinosaur would learn to count and say the alphabet,
0:01:34 > 0:01:39and all the teachers would declare, "Why, what a clever pet!"
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Dinosaurs need water. I think they like to swim.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48I'd have to dig a massive pond and fill it to the brim.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52If I had a dinosaur, I'd feed him lots of greens,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56like cabbages and broccoli to keep him full of beans.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Dinosaurs would make smashing pets,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04as dinosaurs can do much better stuff than dogs or cats.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07And just watch out for the...
0:02:08 > 0:02:11If I had a dinosaur, I'd get a dino flap,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15so he could come inside my house and take a little nap.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Our sofa is enormous. It's big enough for four.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Just perfect for a sleepy sort of friendly dinosaur.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I wish I had a dinosaur to cuddle up at night,
0:02:28 > 0:02:33to read a bedtime story with and give my dad a fright.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Yes, dinosaurs make awesome pets.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I'm sure you will agree that of all the pets,
0:02:39 > 0:02:40they are the best.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Just get one and you'll see.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Wow, can you imagine having a dinosaur as a pet?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Sharing your bed.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I think it might hog the pillow, though.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that story.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59I think that Greg liked it. He's now dreaming dinosaur dreams.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Anyway, it's your bedtime too, so I hope you have lovely dreams as well
0:03:03 > 0:03:07and I will see you soon for another story. Night-night!
