Category: Animals

Wildlife, pets and farm animals lead this broad collection of bedtime stories. Visit a zoo, listen to bats inside a cave, follow mice preparing for Halloween or discover what different creatures eat. Some tales introduce simple facts and animal sounds; others give their characters human-sized problems involving courage, sharing or home. Reading times range from brief baby stories to long animal adventures.

The Little Fish Who Wasn’t Sleepy

Little Pearl still wants to play, even as the ocean grows quiet. Daddy takes her to see how their neighbours rest, from the reef to a whale near the surface. This fish bedtime story slows with each goodnight until Pearl returns home and falls asleep beside him.

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.

Tilly the Little Ranger in Australia

Tilly helps Auntie Kylie care for water stations in an Australian park, meeting kangaroos, koalas, wombats and other wildlife. This interactive animal bedtime story invites children to copy hops, laughs and yawns. A cheeky cockatoo adds a missing-hat mishap before Tilly heads home to bed.
