Bop and Bramble’s six-page greeting suits a listener around four: hiccups, sneezes, and wobbly bows become a hello they can both do. They rest beside Bop’s spaceship, with one tiny goodnight hiccup. Rook and Tova’s ten-page elbow mystery suits read-aloud time around seven. Tova spots the stiff joint, and Rook finishes their walk making proud monster noises. Ada and Moss’s ten-page pebble mystery suits a listener around eight who enjoys following several clues. Ada changes her approach, the little creatures reveal themselves, and camp grows sleepy while they wander. Choose a small goodnight joke, a louder finish, or a patient mystery tonight.
