Ages 2–6 StoryThe Sleepy Train to Dreamland
Whoooooo. Far off in the dark, a train whistle, and then the Sleepy Train slides into the empty station, silver as moonlight with every window glowing gold. The conductor speaks very quietly, because of the hour. On this train a yawn is a ticket, so your child gives their best one, and the doors sigh shut. A blanket exactly their size. Sheep asleep in a silver meadow, ducks with heads under wings at a still lake, round hills like sleeping giants, and the moon keeping pace outside the window the whole way. The wheels say the same thing over and over, side to side, sleep now, and your child can say it with them. At Dreamland nobody gets off. The dreams come to you. Ends with the wheels slowing to a stop and nothing after.

What's inside
The Sleepy Train pulls into an empty night station, and the conductor will take your child all the way to Dreamland for the price of one yawn.
Meets the conductor, courteous and quiet because of the hour, then sheep in a silver meadow, ducks at a moonlit lake, owls that don't hoot, and hills like sleeping giants.
One pause for the yawn, one to arrive. A rocking refrain the wheels repeat, 'Side to side. Sleep now,' that your child can say along. Nobody gets off at Dreamland.
