Rhythm carries these poems and rhyming stories from the first line to the final goodnight. Snowflakes drift, Christmas games begin and Pip the caterpillar changes as repeated sounds make the text easy to read aloud. Some selections are brief seasonal verses; others use rhyme to tell a fuller animal adventure. They work especially well when children enjoy joining a refrain or predicting the next sound.

Pip’s Big Adventure

Pip is a tiny caterpillar who wants to explore beyond her leaf. This short caterpillar bedtime story, told in rhyme, follows her past a busy beetle and a ladybug, through a long rest and into the sky as a butterfly. Read Pip’s Big Adventure aloud for a gentle garden story before sleep.
