Hello, friends! I’m Ryan, and I’m Craig Toby. We’re so happy you’re here for Story Time with us! We love reading stories, and we hope you do too. You can always visit our channel to hear more fun stories, or you can send us a message to say hello!
Today, we’re going to read a fun book called “Pete The Cat: Bedtime Blues” by Kimberly and James Dean. Are you ready? Let’s begin!
Pete the Cat and his friends had a super fun day at the beach. They played in the sand, splashed in the water, and had lots of fun in the sun. But when the sun went down, they didn’t want the fun to stop!
Pete had a great idea. “Let’s have a sleepover at my house!” he said. Everyone thought it was a fantastic idea because it meant more time for fun!
The sleepover was awesome, but soon it was time to go to bed. Pete and his friends put on their pajamas and turned off the lights. “Goodnight, everyone!” they said.
Just as Pete was about to fall asleep, he heard a noise. “Who did that?” he asked. It was Grumpy Toad! “I don’t want to sleep; I want to clap!” said Grumpy Toad.
Pete tried to sleep again, but then he heard another noise. “Who did that?” he asked. It was Gus the Platypus! “I don’t want to sleep; I want to jam!” said Gus.
Pete was feeling a little blue because of all the noise. But then he had a groovy idea! He got out his favorite bedtime story and started to read it to himself and his friends. The story was called “Pete the Cat and Ten Little Monsters.”
As Pete read the story, everything became quiet. No more clapping, no more jamming, and no more munching. Everyone settled down, and soon they were all asleep.
Pete yawned and turned off the light. “Goodnight, sleep tight!” he said. Tomorrow would be another day full of surfing, sun, and tons of fun!
Wasn’t that a fun story? Remember, reading can help us relax and get ready for bed. We hope you enjoyed Story Time with us. Sweet dreams, and see you next time!
Bedtime Story Creation: Gather some paper, crayons, and markers. Ask the children to create their own bedtime story. Encourage them to draw pictures and write a few words about their story. Once they are done, have a mini story time where each child can share their story with the group. This activity helps them understand the structure of a story and express their creativity.
Sound Detective: Just like Pete heard funny noises during the sleepover, play a game of “Sound Detective” with the children. Play different sounds (like clapping, tapping, or a musical instrument) and ask the children to guess what they are. Discuss how different sounds can be heard at night and how they can be fun or sometimes a little surprising.
Sleepover Role Play: Set up a pretend sleepover area with blankets and pillows. Encourage the children to role-play a sleepover scenario, taking turns being Pete, Grumpy Toad, and Gus the Platypus. They can act out the story and come up with their own funny noises or activities. This helps them understand the concept of a sleepover and practice social interactions.

I have a message: Last night, I slept with a sleep mask, and it was dark!
Today’s book is “Pete The Cat: Bedtime Blues” by Kimberly and James Dean. Let’s get started!
Pete and the Gang had a great day. They’d been at the beach, enjoying the surf, sun, and tons of fun. But when the sun went down, they didn’t want the fun to end. Pete had an idea: “Hey, how about a sleepover? More time for tons of fun at Pete’s place!”
The party was awesome, but they knew they couldn’t stay up all night. The Gang decided it was time to say goodnight. On went the pajamas, and out went the light.
“Goodnight, guys! Goodnight, alligator! Goodnight, toad! Goodnight, hot pizza!”
Pete was just about to catch some z’s when he heard a clap. “Who did that?” Pete asked.
“It was me,” said Grumpy Toad. “I don’t want to go to bed; I want to clap instead!”
Pete covered his head. “This cool cat needs to go to bed. Goodnight, girls! Goodnight, alligator! Goodnight, toad! Goodnight, Pete! Time to sleep!”
Pete tried again to catch some z’s when he heard a noise. “Who did that?” Pete asked again.
“It was me,” said Gus the Platypus. “I don’t want to go to bed; I want to jam instead!”
Pete covered his head again. “This cool cat needs to go to bed. Time to sleep! Goodnight, Gus! Goodnight, alligator! Goodnight, toad! Goodnight, Pete!”
Pete closed his eyes to catch some z’s when he heard munching. He had a hunch it was Alligator; he was always up for eating. What could Pete do? All the clapping, jamming, and munching was giving him the bedtime blues.
Pete had a groovy idea! He got out his favorite bedtime story and started to read, first to himself and then to the gang: “Pete the Cat and Ten Little Monsters.”
He noticed it was finally quiet—no more clapping, no more jamming, and no more munching. They all settled down, and no one made a sound.
Pete yawned and turned off the light. “Goodnight, sleep tight! Time to catch some z’s. Tomorrow was another day for surfing, sun, and tons of fun!”
