"No More Noisy Nights" by Holly L. Niner
“When tired Jackson climbs into bed after unpacking all day, he hears… OOOEEEeeeOOOEEEeeeOOO! BOOGETY WOOGETY WOO! Plink! Plunk! Plink! Who is making so much noise and how will Jackson ever get to sleep? Despite some silly, sleepy mistakes, genteel Jackson finds a fun and quiet activity for each of his noisy neighbors. He finally gets a great night’s sleep – and discovers three new friends in the morning.”
You will have the book read to you by actor Tony Hale. He did such a great job; we hope you enjoy his reading as much as we did!

Big Yellow Moon
Big yellow moon shines so bright,

Glides across the starry night
(arms left to right)
Looks down at me asleep in bed,
(head on hands)
Whispers, “Good night sleepyhead.”
(shh)
Big yellow moon, your turn is done
(move arms down)
Here comes Mr. Morning Sun
(circle overhead)
I wake up.
(arms stretch out)
You go to bed.

“Sleep well, Moon, you sleepyhead.”
(shh)

Before I Go to Bed
(tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
Before I go to bed, I take a bath.
Splash, splash, splash, splash, splash, splash
(make splashing motions)
Before I go to bed, I take a bath.
Splash, splash, splash!
I get a drink…Glug, glug, glug
I brush my teeth… Brush, brush, brush
I give a kiss… Kiss, kiss, kiss
I whisper goodnight…Nighty-night, night
