The Owl's Lantern Round — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)

When the sun slips down, the village lanterns glow — and Hazel the owl begins her lantern round. At the baker's window, the old stone well, the schoolhouse and the clock tower, she gives one soft blink, and each light dims to sleep. Clover the rabbit curls up, the Moon pulls up a cloud, and the whole village grows dark and still. Every page repeats one gentle rhythm — blink… and dim… goodnight — slowing a little more each time. A calming wind-down story for ages 2–5, made for the last few minutes before sleep.
