Barnaby Bunny felt a little wiggle in his fluffy tail. The sun was setting outside, painting the sky in soft pink and orange colors. This quiet time meant just one thing for Barnaby: it was almost time for bed!
He hopped off the rug and padded towards the bathroom. First, came a warm, bubbly bath. The water felt so lovely and cozy on Barnaby’s fur. He splashed just a little, making tiny ripples in the water, feeling all clean and warm.
After his bath, Mama Bunny helped him dry off with a big, soft towel. Then, Barnaby put on his favorite pajamas. They were made of the softest blue flannel, just like a gentle cloud, and they felt so comfy and snug.
Next, he went to the sink to brush his teeth. Up and down, back and forth, Barnaby brushed until his teeth felt sparkling clean. He made funny faces in the mirror, but only for a moment, because the sleepy feeling was starting to tickle his nose.
Barnaby found his most special friend, a little stuffed bear named Buttons, and gave him a big, soft hug. Buttons was always ready for sleepy time. Together, they went to the cozy chair where Mama Bunny was waiting.
Mama Bunny read a quiet story about little stars that yawned and twinkled as they got ready for night. Barnaby snuggled close, holding Buttons tight. His eyelids started to feel heavy, just like two little pebbles.
Finally, it was time to tuck into his bed. Barnaby climbed under his warm blanket. It smelled clean and felt so soft against his nose. Buttons snuggled right beside him, ready for sleep too.
The room was quiet now. The moon peeked in through the window like a friendly night light. Barnaby looked around his safe, cozy room and felt a wave of sleepiness wash over him, gentle and warm.
He closed his eyes. He could hear the soft sound of his own breathing, slow and steady. Sleep felt like floating gently on a calm, quiet pond, drifting slowly, slowly...
Sleeping is so important for little bunnies, and for little children too! It helps your body rest and grow strong, and it gets you ready for all the fun and playing you will do tomorrow.
Barnaby Bunny snuggled down deep in his bed. He was cozy, clean, and feeling wonderfully sleepy. Soon, he was fast asleep, dreaming peaceful, quiet dreams until the morning sun came to say hello.
Goodnight, Barnaby. Goodnight, sleepy head. Sleep well.
