Could she have skipped a step in her bedtime routine?Just in case, it’s best to do it all over again! So she brushes her teeth, puts on her pajamas, and says good night to Daddy. But no luck—she still can’t get to sleep! So she ventures outside, where she meets a very sleepy bear who shares her same problem. To help him, she runs inside for a book to read him a bedtime story. In the blink of an eye, the bear is snoring away, and the girl suddenly gets it. That’s it! She forgot to have her dad read her a bedtime story. And so, it’s back to the house, back to her dad, back to bed, and finally . . . to sleep! Children and parents alike will love this story that celebrates the magic of bedtime stories. Show more
