The young Jake finds it difficult to get to sleep and after many attempts eventually does get to sleep with his mum's help.
Jake cannot sleep despite trying lots of different ways to lie down. So, wide awake, he goes downstairs huffing and puffing. Dad suggests counting sheep but he doesn’t like that suggestion, so Mum suggests he pretends to be a little bear going to sleep for the winter. Jake goes back upstairs to give it a try. Jake’s imagination gets the better of him and in fear of a bigger, scarier bear making noises he goes back downstairs. Again, Mum makes a suggestion Jake likes and up he goes squeaking to bed like a little mouse. Then fearing what a little mouse would fear, he imagines a big fat cat and runs back down to Mum. This time he flutters upstairs like a baby bird and still imagines all the things that could make the noises he can hear and wonders what is pulling the covers. This time he doesn’t imagine and realises it is Mum who tucks him safely into bed making him cosy and safe
