Reach for this book when your child is experiencing those vague, fluttery pre-sleep jitters or when the transition from the busy energy of the day to the stillness of the night feels a bit daunting. This story addresses the 'something' that often keeps little ones awake, reframing anticipation from a source of anxiety into a celebration of coming comfort. Elephant and his stuffed animal friends, Rabbit and Frog, sense something approaching their bedroom. As they wonder what it could be, the narrative gently builds a mystery that is neither scary nor overwhelming, but rather reflective of a child's active imagination. Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, it validates their feelings of uncertainty while providing a secure, predictable resolution. Parents will find it a helpful tool for modeling how to talk through nighttime feelings, ultimately replacing the 'scary unknown' with the reliable warmth of a parent's evening visit.
