Food does much more than sit on a plate in these playful bedtime stories. Dolly the Donut learns what makes sharing sweeter, Watermelon Duke protects a garden patch, and the residents of Vegetable Village bustle through a day of their own. There is also a magic porridge pot, a midnight-snacking mouse and a wobbly wooden spoon helping in the kitchen. The stories use familiar foods to explore patience, honesty, appetite, cooperation and the pleasure of making something together.

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.

Watermelon Duke

Duke is a young watermelon sprout with big plans for Farmer Joe’s garden. In this watermelon bedtime story, hungry rabbits threaten the patch, Duke invents a prickly defense, and a friendship with Clara the cow helps both plants and animals look after one another.
