Long ago, in a green and misty valley, lived the biggest dinosaur of all — and also the sleepiest.
Every evening, Tam the long-neck reached up to nibble the highest, softest leaves, the ones that tasted like dreams.
Then Tam lay down so slowly that the ferns barely moved, and all the little dinosaurs came to nestle against Tam's warm side.
The fireflies blinked low. The volcano in the distance puffed one quiet, sleepy puff. Tam took one enormous, gentle breath in… and let it slowly out.
And in the warm dark valley, every dinosaur, big and small, drifted off to sleep.

- •Pick a gentle giant (long-neck) over toothy predators for bedtime.
