The bookmark rescue
Teddy is stranded at the foot of Mount Bedtime. Luckily the elf has packed an unusually long bookmark.
Teddy got into trouble on the way to bedtime and is now stranded at the bottom of a mountain of books. Luckily, the elf has climbed to the summit and lowered a ribbon for the rescue.
It’s a gentle, story-filled set-up that works especially well in a bedroom, and talking teddy through each step of the climb is great fun. Best of all, the mountain is made of real books, so the rescue ends with choosing a story to read together.
How to set it up
- Stack the closed books. Trap one end of the ribbon under the top book, with the tail trailing down the front.
- Perch the elf at the summit and put teddy within reach of the tail.
- Talk teddy through the climb, then choose a book from the mountain.
