AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

The animals friends are getting ready for bed and their 10-word-only bedtime story. But there is much to do before those 10 words. The narrator has many things that the reader and the animals need to do in order to be properly prepared - both the read and to listen. 

The drama around getting ready for the story is very silly and dramatic, with some great chances for expressive reading and actions. The 10-word story is anti-climatic and doesn't feel like it gets its time on the stage.
