Hop, Hop, Hush — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)

A slow-hopping bedtime story. When the sun slips down behind the long meadow, Clover the rabbit is still wide, wide awake. Hop… hop… hush.

Hop, Hop, Hush — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)

When the sun slips down behind the long meadow, Clover the rabbit is still wide awake — hop… hop… hush. Down the hill she goes, past Ember the fox, big Bramble the bear and Olive the owl, and every hop is a little smaller and a little slower than the last, until there are no more hops at all and Clover curls up in her hollow under a sleeping Moon. Every page repeats one gentle rhythm and slows it a little more, with soft breathe-in, breathe-out cues along the way. A calming wind-down story for ages 2–5, made for wriggly little ones in the last few minutes before sleep.
