Jory Tucks Dad In

by Sandra Mccleery

Dad’s yawn gives Jory an idea: every yawn will earn Dad another blanket tuck. Dad is soon tucked in and ready to play along—but he keeps yawning, and Jory keeps adding prizes. The blanket gets tidier with every careful pull, pat, and crisp corner. Then Dad’s toes peek out, and he admits he likes sleeping sideways. Now Jory has a tricky problem: how can he keep their bedtime game going when all those neat tucks make it hard for Dad to get comfortable?

Jory is a thoughtful cub who wants to look after Dad. As the game grows, he must pay attention to what Dad needs, not just how perfectly he can fold a blanket. Gentle humor and small, familiar bedtime moments make this a warm story for preschoolers about care, listening, and making room for someone else.

With its sleepy yawns and satisfying tuck-and-smooth rhythms, Jory Tucks Dad In is a cozy read-aloud for sharing at bedtime—and a sweet choice for little ones who enjoy stories about family and bears.
