Sleep Tight, Little Bear

No matter how hard he tries, the little bear cannot fall asleep, but the wise moon knows that bears and children need each other to reach the land of dreams.

There once was a little bear who played with the animals in the forest and was happy and content. But when it got dark and the other animals went home, his little bear eyes didn't want to close. And he was sooo tired! "What ever shall I do?" he asked all the animals of the forest, but none of their suggestions helped. Luckily the good moon knew what to do, lighting the little bear's way to a little house. There a child sat crying on a bed, also unable to sleep. Happily the little bear snuggled up with the child, and the child snuggled up with the bear, and soon both were asleep.
