Chapter 1

The Moonlit Path Home

Tommy the Turtle tucked his bedtime things into a little basket. His soft blanket sat on top, warm and cozy. The evening sky turned blue, and the moon shone like a round silver button.

Tommy began along the garden path. Crickets chirped in the grass. The air smelled of sleepy flowers, and cool earth brushed his feet.

“Home before bedtime,” Tommy said softly.

But the path curled through tall grass. The blades rose above Tommy’s head and swayed in the moonlight. One way looked like the path. Then another way looked just the same.

Tommy took a step and stopped.

“Was that the way?” he whispered.

He tried going left. A long blade tickled his nose. Tommy gave a tiny sneeze. “Achoo!”

He tried going right, but the grass brushed his shell and made a soft shushing sound.

Tommy looked at his basket. His blanket was still there. He held the basket close and took one slow step.

Then another.

“Slow steps can find the way,” Tommy told himself.

He listened for the little stone gate near home. At first, he heard only crickets. Then he heard a quiet trickle from the garden pond. The pond was near the gate.

Tommy followed the sound. Step by step, the grass grew shorter. The moon made a bright path on the ground.

“There you are,” Tommy said when he saw the garden gate.

Tommy smiled. He had made it home. He set down his basket and stretched his front legs high.

A soft breeze slipped through the gate.

Whoosh!

The blanket lifted from the basket. It floated past Tommy like a tiny cloud.

“Oh!” Tommy cried.

The blanket landed somewhere beyond the gate, hidden by the moonlit grass. Tommy looked at the empty basket. His cozy bedtime blanket was gone.

He was safe at home, but bedtime had one small problem left.

Tommy took a calm breath and held his basket close. “One step at a time,” he said.

The moon shone gently above him as he began to look.
