The Last Light in Pebble Lane: A Bedtime Read-Aloud Story for Ages 3 to 6

A Goodnight Neighbourhood story about an evening walk, the lights going out, and the stars coming out.

Tobi has a plan: tonight he will stay up until every single light in Pebble Lane is off. So he and Nana head out to watch. The baker switches off the bakery. The librarian switches off the library. The evening bus rolls away to the bus barn. Each time a light goes out, a star comes out: "One light fewer." "One star more."

But the street lamp by the postbox stays on all night, so people can find their way home. And when Tobi gets back to bed, his own lamp is still glowing. Should he keep it on? Tobi figures out what his lamp's job really is, and chooses the last "Click!" himself.

This is an original illustrated bedtime story written for reading aloud with children aged 3 to 6. A call-and-response refrain lets the adult and child share the reading, the stars can be counted on the early pages, and the neighbourhood from the first page comes back at the end so children can spot every place again.

What's included. 24 pages (631 words, about 5 to 7 minutes to read aloud) for ages 3 to 6. Also inside: parent conversation card with five gentle questions and a "Click!" call-and-response game. You get a screen PDF of 15 pages (covers and double-page spreads) for reading on a tablet or computer, and a printable PDF of 26 pages including covers, in both US Letter and A4. English. Digital download; nothing is shipped.
