Goodnight, Hockey Fans

by Andrew Larsen (Author) Jacqui Lee (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

A young boy doesn't want to go to bed. The hockey game is on! "What if I can't fall asleep?" the boy says. "Don't worry," says his dad. "You will." After his parents have tucked him in and turned out the light, he shines a flashlight on his prized hockey possessions around his room: the posters of his favorite players, the pennant for his favorite team, the puck.

Then he decides to listen to the game on his bedside radio, which he places under his pillow. With the familiar drone of the announcer's voice for company, the boy drifts off to sleep.
