Goodnight, Madita and Cody

by Jennifer Anna Dudda

As evening settles in, Madita moves through familiar little steps toward sleep—with her beloved dog, Cody, close by. A softly rolling ball, a favorite book, a sip of water, and a warm wash lead to brushing teeth and settling into bed.

Goodnight, Madita and Cody is a quiet read-aloud for babies and toddlers ages 0–3. Its short phrases and gentle repetitions invite little listeners to join in: “Sip, sip.” “Wipe, wipe.” “Brush, brush.” The recurring words “Cody stays close by” offer a comforting rhythm as Madita’s bedtime routine unfolds.

At the end, Madita rests in her crib while Cody curls up on his own cushion nearby. Their separate sleeping spaces and tender companionship make this a cozy story to share as part of a calm evening routine.

  • Simple, repeating language for little listeners
  • Familiar bedtime steps that invite participation
  • A gentle story for quiet reading together
  • A thoughtful gift for babies, toddlers, and young families

Settle in, read slowly, and say goodnight to Madita and Cody.
