A big red, yellow and blue striped beach ball on a green hill, with a sleepy yellow crescent moon peeping out of the blue afternoon sky.

Good morning, little one! The sun is up, and so are you.

Let’s go and say hello to all the things we know. We’ll look, and point, and say their names. And I’ll wait while you find each one, so you can say hello too.


A little blue cup with a handle and white spots, full of milk.

Here’s your cup. A little blue cup, with a handle to hold.

Sip, sip, sip. Ahh!

Where’s the cup?

… There it is! Hello, cup!


A big curved yellow banana with a brown stalk.

Here’s a banana, long and yellow and bendy.

Peel, peel, peel. Yum, yum, yum!

Can you see the banana?

… There it is! Hello, banana!


A pair of little red shoes with cream soles, each with a strap and a white button.

Here are your shoes. Two red shoes, one for each foot.

Stamp, stamp! Stamp, stamp!

Where are the red shoes?

… There they are! Hello, shoes!


A smiling puppy sitting up, with floppy brown ears, a blue collar and a wagging tail.

Out we go, to the park. And who’s this? It’s a dog, with floppy ears and a waggy tail.

Woof, woof! Wag, wag, wag.

Where’s the dog?

… There he is! Hello, dog! And where are his floppy ears?

… Flop, flop! There they are!


A big round beach ball with red, white, yellow and blue stripes.

Here’s a ball, big and round. Red and yellow and blue.

Bounce, bounce, bounce! Roll it… roll it… roll!

Where’s the ball?

… There it is! Hello, ball!


A teddy bear fast asleep in a cosy bed, tucked up under a spotty blue blanket, with a yellow star on the headboard.

Now the day is nearly done. Here’s your bed, soft and cosy. And who’s in it already?

It’s Teddy, all tucked up. Cuddle, cuddle, cuddle.

Where’s Teddy?

… There he is. Hello, Teddy. Shh, he’s sleepy.


A sleepy yellow crescent moon with closed eyes and a smile, among little yellow stars.

Look out of the window. What’s that, up in the sky? It’s the moon, curled up and glowing.

Where’s the moon?

… There it is, way up high. Hello, moon.

The moon is sleepy too. Yaaawn. Time to say goodnight.

Goodnight, cup. Goodnight, banana.

Goodnight, red shoes, side by side.

Goodnight, dog. Goodnight, ball.

Goodnight, Teddy, tucked up tight.

Sleep tight, moon, way up high.

Night night, little one.
