Listen together Read aloud by Genevieve · 18 seconds

Pyjamas on and teeth are clean,

The softest bed you’ve ever seen.

Lights go low, the stars come out,

Quiet now, no need to shout.

Close my eyes and dream away,

Tomorrow is another day.

Talk about it together

What do you see in the sky at night?

Tip: read it again tomorrow. Children often enjoy saying the last word of each line once the poem feels familiar.
