At the bottom of the bay, where the water turns dark and cool, old Pebble the turtle counts the waves rolling over — one… two… three… slower. Page by page, Pip the crab, Tilly the seahorse and the little silver fish settle into the sand, the bubbles rise and pop, and the waves stretch longer and slower, until even the Moon leans down to count and closes his eyes. Every page repeats one gentle counting rhythm and slows it a little more. A calming wind-down story for ages 2–5, made for the last few minutes before sleep.
