Sleepy Bear loved bedtime, but sometimes it was hard to get ready. One night, Mama Bear said, "Let's play a bedtime game! If you finish all your bedtime tasks, you get a special goodnight hug!"
Sleepy Bear's ears perked up. "A game?" he squeaked. Mama Bear smiled. "First, let's tidy up your toys." Sleepy Bear zoomed around his room, putting his blocks in the bin and his stuffed bunny back on the shelf. "Yay!" he cheered.
Next, Mama Bear said, "Time to brush your teeth! Let's see how sparkly we can make them." Sleepy Bear grabbed his toothbrush and brushed every single tooth, making them shine like tiny stars. He even brushed his tongue!
After brushing, Mama Bear pointed to Sleepy Bear's pajamas. "Now, into your cozy pajamas!" Sleepy Bear wiggled into his soft, striped pajamas. They felt so warm and snuggly. He gave himself a little hug.
The last task was Sleepy Bear's favorite: story time! Mama Bear opened a big book filled with colorful pictures. She read in a warm, soothing voice about a friendly fox and a playful rabbit. Sleepy Bear snuggled close, listening to every word.
When the story ended, Sleepy Bear yawned a big yawn. Mama Bear smiled and said, "You finished all the tasks! You win the bedtime game!" She gave him a giant, squeezy hug.
Sleepy Bear felt so happy and sleepy. He climbed into his bed, pulled up his covers, and closed his eyes. Mama Bear kissed him goodnight. As Sleepy Bear drifted off to sleep, he thought, "Bedtime games are the best!" He knew tomorrow night, he would play the bedtime game again.
