Nessie Sparkles and the Cozy Cave

A story about Bedtime
for your Preschooler.
Cactus Cody rides into the forest with Nessie Sparkles. They see tall trees and shiny lakes all around.
They find a calm lake. The water sparkles like tiny stars.
Suddenly, they see sleepy fireflies in a cave. The fireflies toss and turn, but cannot rest.
One firefly whispers, “We lost our lullaby.” Cactus Cody says, “We can help, partner.” Nessie Sparkles nods excitedly.
They step outside. The frogs near the lake croak a short tune. But it is not soft enough to help the fireflies sleep.
Next, the owls hoot in the trees. Each hoot is lovely but echoes too loudly in the cave.
Cactus Cody and Nessie Sparkles walk deeper into the forest. “Let’s find a calm melody,” says Nessie Sparkles. They remember that brushing teeth, reading a book, and singing a lullaby can help everyone sleep.
They practice a gentle song together. “La, la, la,” hums Nessie Sparkles. “Shhh, shhh, shhh,” whispers Cactus Cody.
