Category: 6-7 Year Olds

Parents and caregivers can read these stories aloud to six- and seven-year-olds, with time to talk about each problem and how it is solved. Children meet a noisy woodpecker, wolf cubs following muddy tracks, a magical cooking pot and two friends who trade beds. Humour and fantasy sit beside school, family and nature themes. Choose a comfortable pace and invite your child to ask questions or read a passage with you.

Tappy the Pumpkin

Ollie and Suzy name their pumpkin Tappy, bake with Grandma Betty and dress up for trick-or-treating. This Halloween bedtime story follows their family from a foggy morning to a quiet night, when Tappy's candle goes out and the children settle down to sleep.

Bounceville

Ela wishes the whole world could bounce like her trampoline—until breakfast, hugs, and bedtime become impossible in a town that never stands still.

The Woodpecker Who Broke His Beak

Danny's drumming wakes the whole forest until he breaks the tip of his beak. In this woodpecker bedtime story, nutshells and a wooden button lead to a noisy surprise. This is a comic animal fantasy, not advice on caring for an injured bird.

Little Pot, Cook!

A generous girl shares her last piece of bread and receives a magic pot that cooks porridge on command. When her mother forgets how to stop it, the porridge spills into the village. Share this classic bedtime story about kindness and remembering both halves of an important instruction.

Milo the Ant and the Big World

Milo is the smallest ant in the colony, but he sets out when three strong scouts go missing. This ant bedtime story follows him past a puddle and a spiderweb, where help from a ladybug and his own ideas turn being tiny into an advantage.

Bessie and the Lost Tail

Bessie the cow comes home with a new dress but leaves her tail at the shop. In this funny cow bedtime story, mosquitoes send her searching for a replacement, and her farmyard friends lend a hand. Will any of their tails feel right?
