Reach for this book when your child is wide-awake and restless, perhaps feeling a bit of 'bedtime FOMO' or anxiety about the strange sounds of the night. It is a perfect choice for settling down after a high-energy day, offering a gentle way to reframe scary or annoying noises into a rhythmic, predictable symphony of nature. This clever counting book follows ten campers trying to sleep in a tent while a cumulative parade of animals, from one croaking frog to ten prowling bears, creates a boisterous outdoor concert. Through Marilyn Singer's playful verse, children learn that the world doesn't stop when they go to sleep, but that doesn't mean they have to be afraid. It is a fantastic tool for practicing patience and basic math while celebrating the wonders of the natural world. Perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students, it turns the 'scary' night into a lively, musical adventure.
