Hi there! We are the bears who just love books. We are always on the lookout for exciting stories to share with our friends. Do you want to join us on our adventure today?
We love books, books, and more books! We search high and low, wondering if they could be here or there. We want to find a book to share with everyone!
Uh-oh! Look at those big, gray rain clouds. It looks like it might rain soon. We need to hurry and find a book before we get wet!
Do you hear the water? It’s starting to rain! Crystal, one of our bear friends, doesn’t like getting wet. But we can have fun with the rain sounds: drip, drop, drippity drop!
We found a dry spot under some rocks. It’s raining hard, and we can’t look for books in the rain. But wait, what’s that sound? Flappity flap! It’s a book! Would you like to hear a story?
Yay! It’s story time! Let’s get close and comfy. The story is called “On My Walk” by Carrie Lynn Winters. It’s about a little boy and his dog going for a walk.
On their walk, they hear a horse: clippity-clop, and a frog: frippity-frog. They see a bug: hippity-hop, and a fish: flippity-flop. The boy even tastes an ice cream cone: slippety-slop!
Uh-oh, it starts to rain! The boy and his mom run home, but the dog wants to play in the rain: splashity splash! They make it home safe and sound.
While we wait for the rain to stop, let’s listen to the sounds around us. We hear the rain: drippity drop, the wind: whoosh, and the leaves rustling in the trees.
Who wants to splash in the puddles? Splashity splash, splishity splash! It’s so much fun, even if Crystal doesn’t like getting wet. But she loves the funny sounds we make!
Thank you for joining us on our book adventure. We hope you had fun listening to the story and playing in the rain with us. See you next time!

We are the bears, the book-hungry bears, looking for books with stories to share.

Books, books, looking for books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there? Looking for books to share.

I can hear the bridge thumping when I stomp on it like this: thump, plump, thump.
[Laughter]
Look, it’s a dragonfly! Alright, here is this.
Hmm, there must be a book somewhere.
Oh, it’s starting to rain. Come on!
[Music]
Uh-oh, Crystal really doesn’t like getting wet.
I know, but we do drip city, drop drippity drop with a flip and a flip and a pop, plop, plop, triple drop.
[Music]
Yucky!
We should stay dry under here.
Wow, it’s raining hard, and we can’t look for books in the rain. We’ll get wet.
Yuck, I don’t like getting wet.
It’ll stop soon, Crystal. But what are we going to do stuck under these rocks?
Huh, listen to what?
This is a flappity flap. I hear it.
What is it?
It’s not coming from back here. It’s not coming from over here either.
[Music]
Yeah, it’s a book! Would you like to share your story?
[Music]
Yes! Story time!

Is everyone close and comfy?
Close and comfy! Let the story begin.

“On My Walk” by Carrie Lynn Winters, illustrated by Christina Lyston.
My walk, my summer walk. The little boy is going for a walk with his dog.
[Laughter]
I hear a horse: clippity-clop, clippity-clop, and a frog: frippity frog, frippity frop.
Yeah, horse’s feet make sounds just like that.
And frogs go trippity frog, pretty frog.
I see a bug: hippity-hop, hippity-hop, and a fish: flippity-flop, flippity-flop.
Hippity-hop and flippity-flop!
I taste a cone: slippety-slop, slippety-slop.
Oh look, the dog loves the ice cream cone!
Wait, what? Let me look!
Look at the dog lick the ice cream cone: slippity slop, snippy, and catch some rain: drippity drop, drippity drop.
[Music]
Yep, trippity truck, trippity truck.
[Music]
Trippity drop.
The rain sounds the same everywhere.
Uh-oh!
On my run, my summer run: drop, drop.
Good thing the boy brought his raincoat!
Yeah, the rain changed their walk into a run: slop, slop.
Oh no, the boy dropped his ice cream cone: flippity-flop, flippity-flop.
Hop, hop!
They’re running right past the fish: flippy flap, flippity-flop, in the bug.
Huh, who will they run right past next?
Frog: clippity club, clippity club.
Right!
They’re running by the frog and the horse: clippity-clop, all the way home.
Phew!
The boy and his mom made it home, but the dog wants to stay outside and play in the rain: splashity splash, drippity drop, and clippity-clop.
I love those funny sounding words!
Me too!
[Music]
Thank you for sharing your story with us, book!
Thank you, bye-bye!
Floppity-flap!
That was a great story, and I know just what I’m going to do until the rain stops.
What?
Listen!
All I hear is rain: drippity drop.
I can hear the wind too!
Whoosh!
I can hear the leaves rustling up in the trees.
[Music]
Now we’re birdies too!
Hey!
Who wants to hear the splishy splash of a puddle?
Splashity splash, splishity splash, squishy splash, splishy splash!
Come on, Crystal, squishy splash with us!
No way!
I still don’t like getting wet, but I do like those funny sounds you’re making!
Sweaty, squishy!
[Music]
