Sleeping puppy curled in a round patterned bed with moon, stars, pillow, and blanket

Sleeping Puppy in a Moonlit Round Bed

A floppy-eared puppy snoozes curled inside a fancy round bed while a crescent moon and scattered stars shine above.

🎨 How to color it

Color the sleepy puppy honey brown, the round bed rim lavender with yellow dots, the pillow pale blue, and the crescent moon buttery yellow. Use chunky crayons or markers for the puppy’s big curled body, and don’t worry if little hands color over the fluffy fur lines. Try making every other dot on the bed rim pink so the puppy’s nest looks extra cozy under the stars.

Under the slanty attic roof, Bixby tucked his nose to his tail and invented Moon-Nest: one star for the pillow, one star for the blanket, one star for the rim. But the best star sticker had slid under the old trunk, where the floorboards felt cold and smelled like dust.

Bixby wriggled out of his round bed. Tap, tap, went his paws. He reached the sticker, but his blanket stayed behind. “Come too,” he whispered, tugging it back with his teeth. When he curled up again, the sticker shone beside the pillow, and the blanket held the attic’s hush. Can you spot the place where Bixby decided he already belonged?
