Hello and welcome back to Kowal Moon, a podcast of original children's bedtime stories and meditations,

designed to make bedtime a dream.

I can't wait to get started with tonight's story. It's a triumph of creativity and inventiveness that combines a classic poem by Edward Lear you and your parents may have heard of, with two real friends up for a nighttime

adventure. But Coco's here flapping his big list full of new Coco clubbers's names and I must get to that first.

Listen up for your shout out. It comes with our biggest thanks.

So hi and welcome to Brooke from Ireland, Georgia, Sebastian and Claudia all from New Zealand, Oliver

Haley and William from Adelaide, Australia. Thank you, thank you guys for signing up and enjoy all your extra bonus episodes, the

ad-free listening and just general wonderfulness.

So as I was saying this evening we're going to meet a cat named George whose owner teaches

him a beautiful poem about an owl and a pussycat. He gives George some ideas and he and his owl friend Barnaby set out to find

a pea-green boat, some honey and plenty of money tied up in a five pound note.

Before we begin a quick message for the grown-ups.

But now he's a quick word from our sponsors.

Before I get started, snuggle down into bed and get as comfy as possible.

Close your eyes gently and relax your face, your eyebrows, your cheeks and your forehead, even the bridge of your nose and your tongue. Can you

make everything feel really loose and floppy?

And gently breathe in and out.

Or relax now, now breathing gently in and out.
