\n

In his cozy warm bed, little Sam was ready to sleep. He hugged his green plush dinosaur very tight.<\/p>\n

The night was quiet. Sam whispered, "Catch, catch, little bad dream!" and closed his eyes.<\/p>\n

\n

Thump-thump! Sam woke up. His heart was beating fast.<\/p>\n

On the wall, a big dark shadow looked like a scary wolf. Was there something hiding under the bed?<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

"Mommy! Daddy!" Sam called. Amy and Ben ran into the room and gave him a big hug.<\/p>\n

"A wolf is in my head," Sam cried.<\/p>\n

Can you see the green dinosaur hiding under the blue pillow? Where is he?<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

"Dreams are like playdough," Amy said softly. "You can change them!"<\/p>\n

Ben showed Sam his hands. "Make a magic net with your fingers, like this. Catch the dream and make it silly!" But would the magic work?<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

The big light went out. The scary shadow returned on the wall.<\/p>\n

Sam raised his hands, but his shoulders fell. He whispered, "Catch, catch, little bad dream!" but his voice shook. He stopped.<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

Sam hid under his heavy blanket. He felt so small.<\/p>\n

Sniff-sniff! "I cannot do it," he whimpered.<\/p>\n

But suddenly, a funny little idea popped into his head. What would he do now?<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

He remembered what Ben had said. Wolves do not wear funny clothes!<\/p>\n

What if the scary wolf had big, bright yellow duck socks on his feet? Sam started to smile.<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

He threw his blanket away! He aimed his hand-net at the wall and shouted:<\/p>\n

"Catch, catch, little bad dream, put on your yellow duck socks!"<\/p>\n

Can you make the sound of a silly wolf slipping? Squeak!<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

Another giant shadow appeared with big horns! Sam did not run.<\/p>\n

He took a deep, strong breath, just like a big dinosaur. Fffhhhuuu! He threw his magic net again!<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

The giant turned into a fluffy marshmallow wearing a pink tutu!<\/p>\n

It started to dance a silly dance on the wall. Ha-ha-ha! Shadows are not scary when they are so silly!<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

Sam snuggled deep into his soft pillow. His room felt quiet and safe again.<\/p>\n

He hugged his green dinosaur tightly, feeling very proud. He was the king of silly dreams.<\/p>\n

\"F4d621c2<\/section>\n

\n

The bedroom was dark and peaceful. Sam whispered, "Catch, catch, little bad dream!" and closed his eyes.<\/p>\n

If a scary dream comes to your room tonight, what silly outfit will you give it?<\/p>\n

\n

Zoe gets ready for bed in her cozy room. Mom Amy and Dad Ben read a sweet book. Zoe hugs her green plush dinosaur, Dino, very tight.<\/p>\n

Yawn! It is time to sleep now.<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

In the middle of the night, Zoe wakes up. She sees a big, grey shadow on the wall.<\/p>\n

Her heart goes thump, thump! What is that scary shape in the dark?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

Mom Amy and Dad Ben walk in. They turn on the soft nightlight. Zoe hides under her blanket.<\/p>\n

Can you find Dino's green tail under the bed? Point to it! But is Zoe still scared?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

Dad Ben sits on the bed. He shows Zoe a magic trick with his hands.<\/p>\n

He claps and says the secret words:<\/p>\n

"Clap! Caught, changed, giggled!"<\/p>\n

Can Zoe do it too?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

Zoe closes her eyes to try. She looks for the grey shadow in her mind. But her hands shake.<\/p>\n

"What if the shadow is too big?" she whispers. Will Zoe find her courage?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

In her mind, the shadow looks very tall. Zoe looks down at her knees. She feels sad.<\/p>\n

Then, Mom Amy sits close. She whispers a silly secret. What is the secret?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

"What if the big shadow wears a giant pink diaper?" Mom Amy asks.<\/p>\n

Zoe smiles. The shadow also needs a blue pacifier. It is so funny! What will Zoe do now?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

Zoe takes a deep breath. She claps her hands very fast.<\/p>\n

"Clap! Caught, changed, giggled!"<\/p>\n

Clap your hands with Zoe right now! Can you make a silly face too?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

The shadow wobbles in its big pink diaper. Yes, it wobbles and falls! It rolls like a ball.<\/p>\n

Zoe laughs and laughs with her hands on her tummy. Is she still scared?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

Zoe is happy now. She blows gently on her hands. Fffouuu!<\/p>\n

She sends the silly dream into Dino, her brave guard. Her cozy room is quiet and safe. Is she ready to sleep?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

Mom Amy and Dad Ben tuck her in. Zoe feels very proud. She pats Dino's green head.<\/p>\n

"You are my dream guard, Dino," she whispers. Will she have sweet dreams tonight?<\/p>\n

\"9cc2db0c<\/section>\n

\n

Zoe closes her eyes. She is ready for a warm, quiet sleep.<\/p>\n

"Clap! Caught, changed, giggled!"<\/p>\n

Which plush toy will you hug tonight to make your dreams silly? Shhh… sleep tight.<\/p>\n
