Up, up, up went Layla's tower! Red block, blue block, one more on top. Her dinosaurs watched with wide, wondering eyes. What a busy builder Layla was!

Then the moon peeked in through the window. “Bedtime, little builder,” it seemed to say. Step by step, Layla knew the way.

But she would not go alone — oh no! Rexy the dinosaur climbed into her arms. “Come on, Rexy,” whispered Layla. “It’s time.”

First, the toys needed tucking in. “Goodnight, tall tower,” said Layla. “Goodnight, little dinosaurs. Sleep tight until the morning.”

One last block sat all alone. Layla set it gently on top — tap! Now the tower could dream too. Step by step, Layla knew the way.

Next came her favorite part. Green pajamas, soft and snug, with tiny stars all over! But wait — where had one sleeve gone?

The sleeve was hiding, all twisted up. Layla wiggled. Layla giggled. Layla pushed her arm right through — hooray! Even Rexy looked impressed.

Down the hallway, the light was low. Shadows made shapes along the wall. Step by step, Layla knew the way.

“Look, Rexy!” Layla whispered. One shadow looked just like a friendly dinosaur, walking beside them all the way. The nightlight glowed like a tiny lighthouse.

And there it was — her bed! Soft pillow, warm blanket, cozy and waiting. Layla climbed in slowly, hugging Rexy close.

Mama came to tuck them in, snug as snug can be. “You see?” said Mama softly. “The dark is only the day, resting.” Step by step, Layla knew the way.

Step by step, all the way, Layla found her way to dreams. Goodnight, Layla. Hushhh…
