"An orange and purple dancing baboon!" Timmy interrupted with a giggle. His mom smiled and continued, "And there were three little bears, sitting on chairs, and two little kittens, and a pair of mittens." Timmy's eyes sparkled with excitement as he imagined the room filled with friendly bears, playful kittens, and colorful mittens. He loved the way the gentle words of the book created a magical world within his own room.

His mom continued to read, "And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush, and a quiet old lady whispering 'hush.'" Timmy snuggled in his warm blankets and giggled once more. He loved the idea of the old lady whispering "hush" to him, making everything feel peaceful and calm. As his mom read on, he couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.

The book carried them through the room, saying goodnight to a cozy fire, a little toy house, and even a mouse! Timmy imagined all these wonderful things around him as his mom's voice softly filled the room. Next, they said goodnight to lamps, socks, and clocks, and even the Moon outside his window. Golden moonbeams gently kissed his cheeks, assuring him that it was time to close his eyes and let dreams take over.

As his mom read the very last page, she whispered, "Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere." Timmy closed his eyes, feeling safe and loved, as his mom whispered, "Goodnight Timmy, sweet dreams my dear."
