The Fox and the Last Lamp — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)
A lamp-by-lamp bedtime story. When the sky goes deep and blue, Pip the fox trots into the village. Twelve little lamps are glowing. Down… and down… and dark.

When the sky goes deep and blue, Pip the fox trots into the village to do her one small job — down… and down… and dark. Lamp by lamp she turns the lights low, while the Moon peeks over the rooftops and Olive the owl counts along from her chimney, until only the last lamp is left glowing at the end of the lane. Every page repeats one gentle rhythm and dims the village a little more, so the story itself turns down like a lamp. A calming lights-out story for ages 2–5, made for the last few minutes before sleep.
