Age range 5+

Your bookshelf is noisy with stories.
Which one? I ask. You point, frozen like a fawn until you hear Once upon a time.

It’s bedtime, but Mommy’s little boy is not sleepy.

He growls like a bear, he questions like an owl, he tosses his mane like a lion.

He hunts for water like a sly wolf, and hides like a snake.

Mommy needs to wrangle her sweet creature in bed so that the whole family can sleep.
