T.O.T.S. Read Along Storybook | You've Gotta Be Kitten Me

Tots. You've gotta be kitten me. It's a beautiful morning at the Tiny Ones transport service. The storks at Tots have an important job, delivering babies from the hangar in the sky to their families on the ground below. The baby animals are being loaded into delivery crates. They can't wait to meet their parents. Today, two new junior flyers are joining the team, Pip the penguin and his best friend, Freddy the flamingo. They may not be storks, but that's okay with their boss, Captain Beakman. Every bird deserves a chance, no matter what feathers they have, she says. Pip and Freddy head out with the other birds to make their first delivery. They are determined to do a great job. I can't wait to soar through the clouds, Pip says. And I can't wait to play with the adorable babies, says Freddy. The conveyor belt springs to life, and out comes a kitten named Kiki. She looks up at Pip and Freddy and says, Mama. Dada. Pip laughs. We're not your parents, but we'll take you to meet them. It's delivery time. Freddy tucks Kiki into her crate. Pip grabs the flypad and hops onto Freddy's back. He checks out the flight path and gives Freddy directions. Flamingo. Freddy calls. A little while later, Pip and Freddy arrive at Kiki's house. But no one is home. They read the instruction manual on their flypad. It says they are supposed to leave the baby inside to wait for her parents. Take a little nap till your parents get here, Freddy says. Bye, Kiki. When Pip and Freddy get back to T.O.T.S., they stop by the nursery to visit their friend Casey the Koala. She's throwing a baby dance party before nap time. Just then, Freddy hears a tiny voice, Mama. It's Kiki. Kiki undelivered herself. Pip shouts. Pip and Freddy have to get the kitten to her parents before the timer runs out. They don't want their first delivery to be late. They race to get Kiki back to her house. You stay here, okay? Freddy says. Your parents will be back soon, Pip adds. Kiki just purrs and smiles up at them. But once Pip and Freddy get back to T.O.T.S., Kiki is right there with them. Mama. Dada, she says. Pip and Freddy fly Kiki home again and again. But she follows them back every time. Pip and Freddy get so tired from all the flying back and forth. But worst of all, the timer has almost run out. There's no way we can deliver Kiki on time now. Pip cries. Everyone's first delivery is a little bumpy, Casey says, hoping to cheer them up. But we're not like all the other storks, Freddy says. We're the first ever penguin flamingo delivery team. Pip shrugs. Maybe we're not cut out for this job after all. It doesn't matter what kind of feathers you have, Casey tells Pip and Freddy. It's what's underneath them that counts. More feathers? Freddy asks. No. Casey giggles. Your heart. Casey reminds Pip and Freddy that they earned their spots as junior flyers. You two are perfect for this job. You'll do whatever it takes. Freddy smiles at his best buddy. That's what we always say. Pip and Freddy look down at Kiki. They need a new plan so she can meet her real parents. What if we got Kiki to take a little catnap? Casey suggests. How would we get her to do that? Pip asks. A dance party. Casey exclaims. Everyone shakes their tails, feathers, and tail feathers to the music. The dance party works. Kiki falls fast asleep. She's sleeping like a, well, like a baby. Pip whispers. Now is the time to get Kiki to her family once and for all. When Pip and Freddy get to Kiki's house, they're overjoyed to see her parents waiting for their new baby. Kiki wakes up in her parents' arms. Mama. Dada, she says. We completed our first delivery. Pip exclaims. But I'm really going to miss Kiki. Me too, says Freddy. When Pip and Freddy arrive back at Tots, Captain Beakman is waiting. You two just earned your first delivery stamp for bringing the baby home, she says. Keep up the good work. Pip and Freddy will always remember their first ever delivery. Kiki the adorable kitten.
