Think Big! | Read Aloud Kids Book | Vooks Narrated Storybooks

In the wilds of East Africa, thousands of years have passed since the savannah began. The animals continued to roam the land looking for food, with this moody baboon telling them what to do. When suddenly, fear struck the land. It began one rainy day with giraffes starving, trying to eat some leaves while mumbling. I can't reach. I'll never eat. Nosey baboon heard and couldn't help but sneer. Think like that, you'll go hungry. Oh no, giraffe groaned. So he tried to climb. He jumped. He even piggybacked on Kudu. But he lost his footing when curious Kudu moved to see the busy buzzing bee. Suddenly, screamed, lightning struck a tree. Fire! Giraffe screeched, hitting the ground in pain. Baboon shrieked as the tree split in two. I can't. Giraffe cried. I hurt my knee. Help me up, Kudu, please. But Kudu had run after baboon. Baboon noticed and couldn't help but sneer. Kudu, didn't you hear giraffe cry out to you? Yeah, but... Kudu panicked. I'm scared. What do I do? Kudu took a thoughtful breath and then turned and ran back to help his friend. Kudu jumped and sprang over hot, fiery flames to bump giraffe to his feet. Kudu even left high to save the beehive, but yelped. Help! Kudu's tail was on fire. Beyond scared, Kudu got out of there, racing with giraffe to the baobab tree. Kudu found a puddle. Plop! Then he collapsed with fear, muttering. Life's too scary for me. I quit. Baboon heard and couldn't help but sneer. Ho, ho, giraffe. Do something. Kudu just saved you. Yeah, but... Giraffe grunted. I don't know. What do I do? Giraffe took a thoughtful breath, and feeling his brain and heart connect, he smiled big with a brilliant idea. With his neck growing longer, giraffe strived to reach the leaves again and again as he stomped and clapped. I believe in me. I am extraordinary. I can... Whoosh! Wham! I can go for extraordinary! Yes! Giraffe did it. Using his extraordinary long neck, he easily grabbed some leaves. He gave them to Kudu and said, This fresh food can help you feel better. And thank you. Your bravery taught me to stick my neck out and go for it. And what of you? Kudu didn't move. He just lay there, shaking in fear. Of course, bossy baboon couldn't help but sneer. Wahoo! Wahoo! Do something, Bee. Kudu saved you, too. Yeah, but... Buzzed Bee. What do I do? Bee took a thoughtful breath, and feeling her brain and heart connect, she smiled big with a great idea. Busy Bee flew toward the fragrant flowers to put her plan to work, clapping on the way. I believe in me. I am great. I am thoughtful. I can... Whoosh! Wham! I can be grateful. Yes! Busy Bee was so grateful to be alive and thankful Kudu saved her hive that she started dancing and singing. My life is full of abundance! Her dance moves were brilliant. They made an actual map that her bee community could follow to find flowers and collect enough nectar to make Kudu a new comfort food. They proudly gave it to Kudu and said, Thank you! Hopefully our new sweet honey treat can comfort you from the scary challenge you faced to save us! But Kudu didn't even move to eat the yummy-smelling treat. Right then, brilliant baboon swung down and howled, Yes! Kudu, I know what to do! There's another powerful secret! Shh! We can all use! Baboon put a hand on Kudu's shoulder and said, Don't quit! Think big! Consider who you want to be! Know that we are all born extraordinary! Celebrate your possibility and ideas! Shout, I am... Yeah, but I can't! Interrupted Kudu, quaking with fear. The fiery flames are right there! Big-eared elephant came to the rescue, trumpeting to Kudu. Baboon's right! The secret, shh, works! It's how I put these dangerous flames out. I am strong! I am fearless! Yes! buzzed busy bee. The secret helps me be all I can be, and unbelievably amazing! Yes! bush baby added. It reminds me I am loved and cherished, so I can hang through any crisis. You can too! Yeah, but I quit! Barked Kudu. So leave me alone! After a thoughtful breath, Baboon got Bee, and together they wrote Kudu a song. Sing along! Twinkle, twinkle, know you are Brave and kind, so light your stars. Smile, I can and dare believe, thinking big we all succeed. Twinkle, twinkle, hearts of stars, guiding us we all go far. As they sang, the wind changed direction. Whoosh! Snap! Pop! Fire surrounded them as Baboon nervously sneered. What do we do? Without help, we can't survive. Baobab Tree took a thoughtful breath, and feeling its brain and heart connect, it smiled big with a grand idea. With the help of Big-Eared Elephant, Baobab Tree began to hollow out its trunk as it swayed in the breeze, clapping. I believe in good. I believe in all of you. I am powerful too. I can... Whoosh! Wow! I can give to live and live to give! Yes! Grateful Baboon and Kudu knew they could be safe from the flames in Baobab's new, awesome, hollowed-out clubhouse. Encouraged, Kudu hopped to his feet, ate the leaves, and grabbed Bee's sweet honey treat. But wait! Kudu saw terror in Bush Baby's eyes. She was falling from the tree, wailing. Help me and my baby! Oh no! Kudu panicked. What do I do? Kudu took a thoughtful breath, and feeling his brain and heart connect, he smiled big with the perfect idea. With his horns continuing to grow, Kudu stomped and clapped. I'll never quit. I am brave. I am kind. I can... I can be the best me! Yes! Kudu bravely saved Bush Baby and her baby from the flames. Kudu laid them safely in Baobab's clubhouse with Bee's sweet honey treat, and celebrated with Baboon, saying... There's no doubt we can get through anything together. So please try the... secret too! No matter what happens, never quit! Think big! Feel your head and heart connect with a big inside smile and believe! With that, the newfound friends gathered safely in Baobab's clubhouse. The rain stopped the flames, and Baboon had everyone celebrate with his famous boom shake celebration. Wahoo! Shake your pom poms! Smile big with grand ideas!
