oh tumble ted hello it's  me your friend mr tumble let's all sign the word  

friend together are you ready friend you sign  friend oh well done i love being your friend  

tonight's story is about a boy who wishes he  could find a friend to share his hobby with him  

it's called be a friend and is  written and illustrated by selena yoon

dennis was an ordinary boy who expressed himself  in extraordinary ways everyone called him  

mime boy dennis didn't speak a  word he would only act in scenes

some children would show and tell  in class dennis would mime instead

some children liked to climb a tree

dennis was happy to be a tree but even trees  get lonely sometimes dennis felt invisible

it was as if he were standing  on the other side of a wall hmm

one day dennis kicked an imaginary ball

and someone caught it her name was joy  

there was no wall between dennis  and joy it was more like a mirror

they saw the world in the same way dennis and joy  didn't speak a word because friends don't have to

but they laughed out loud with  jazz hands for all the world to see

it's good to make a new friend especially when  they enjoy the same things you do isn't that right  

tumble ted have you made a new friend recently  wow you have well perhaps you'll dream about  

them tonight that would be very exciting i'll see  you for another bedtime story soon night night
