Age range 3 to 6

"I can't sleep!" said Molly.
"You can," said her mom.
"Just think of a story and sleep will soon come.

Pretend you're a bird in the sun-dazzled sky,
looping the loop as the wind rushes by.
You're swooping through sunbeams and skimming the trees."

It's time for bed, and Molly isn't tired, so Mom comes up with various scenarios meant to lull Molly to sleep. But her plan works a little too well, and Mom is soon snoring in this sweet, fun twist on a beloved bedtime ritual.
