Lily sat up in her cozy little bed. She opened her favorite storybook.
Golden words floated out of the pages like sparkles. Lily reached out and popped one — it went 'pop!' like a bubble.
Lily turned the page. A tiny dragon perched on the edge of her bed. It sneezed — puff! — and smoke curled into the air.
Lily giggled. The dragon bowed its head, then swooped up into the air.
Lily turned the next page. Her rug became a deep blue sea. A friendly whale rose up and splashed her with a warm wave.
Lily jumped back and laughed. Water dripped off her feet onto the wooden floor.
Lily turned to the last page. Everything lifted upward — her bed, her rug, the whale — all the way to a snowy mountain top.
A snowman at the peak waved and offered her star-candy. Lily took one and it tasted like warm chocolate and peppermint.
Lily tucked the book under her pillow and curled into her quilt.
The nightlight cast a golden glow. Her room was quiet again.
