Teddy-bear stories

A moon pebble, a blanket roof, and a bear who comes home

Bram lends Momo the pebble he has never slept without, then finds himself with an empty paw. Hollis builds a grand pillow mountain for Eben, who prefers a small blanket roof. Elsie offers Bear a shelf in the new baby’s room, then misses him when her own room grows dark. Choose a first sleepover, a game with room for two turns, or a cuddle that can come home.

A borrowed pebble, a shared game, and comfort kept close

Bram and Momo’s five-page sleepover suits a listener around four. Bram lends his moon pebble for one night, then settles by listening to Momo’s tiny snores. The pebble returns in the morning with a leaf blanket. Hollis and Eben’s five-page bedtime game also suits a listener around four. The grand pillow mountain tumbles, but Hollis can still have his little peak while Eben stays beneath a blanket roof. Their game grows quiet without either brother losing his part. Elsie’s five-page story suits a listener around four. Bear waits on a shelf in the baby’s room, away from the crib. When Elsie needs him in her own room, Mum brings him back without asking her to give up the cuddle. A hello and a little song offer another way to welcome the baby. Elsie settles with Bear close, a small night-light, and Mum’s quiet footsteps nearby.
