Story overview

Princess Lily and her bear friend Panda hear music in their castle and decide to find it. They march to the grand ballroom where they dance, spin, and hop together. After their active fun, they both feel tired and settle down on a soft rug with a pillow and blanket for a cozy nap.

Princess Lily lives in a beautiful, tall castle. The castle has high stone walls and a big, green garden filled with pretty flowers. Princess Lily loves her home. She wears a shiny pink crown on her head. It sparkles in the bright sun. Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle.

Lily has a very special best friend. His name is Panda. Panda is a bear with soft, fuzzy fur. He has round black ears and a big white tummy. He is very cuddly and kind. Lily loves to hug Panda tight. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. Panda is soft and warm.

One sunny morning, Lily hears music. *La, la, la.*

"Do you hear that, Panda?"
