Category: Bedtime Stories Featuring Human Characters

Children, parents, teachers, explorers and royal figures take the lead in these bedtime stories. Brian prepares for Halloween, Mr. Robbie guides a class into a bat cave, and Mia discovers the animals at a zoo. Other human characters enter magical books, historical moments or dangerous quests. The category includes recognisable family experiences alongside fantasy, with reading levels ranging from preschool tales to longer stories for older children.

The Sleepy Yawn

A little blue yawn leaves a cloud and visits a cat, a dog, a cow, a duck and even the moon. Read the soft animal sounds aloud in this short baby bedtime story, until Mama, Baby and the whole house settle into silence.

Pencilina, Rubert, and the Drawing That Came to Life

What if the forest in your sketchbook started to move? In this magical drawing bedtime story, Lily, Pencilina the pencil and Rubert the eraser step into a world with two suns and a dragon named Articus. Drawing a path and erasing thorns will help them rescue a frightened creature before Lily returns home for bed.

The Three Pennies

A disguised king meets a cheerful stonebreaker who lives on three pennies a day - one to repay, one to lend, and one to keep - and uncovers a lesson wiser than all his counsellors.

Wheels of Wonder

A little brown dog brings Max, Sara and Luis together, then leads them to a workshop full of impossible inventions. In this fantasy bedtime story, Max's wheelchair gains a few surprises, and the friends must solve three tests to help a missing inventor. Share the six chapters over several evenings and discover why the final test needs more than a clever machine.
