Tappy the Pumpkin

The Magic of Golden Autumn

Nina and Timo miss summer until Rusty the squirrel and Roly the hedgehog show them what autumn can do. This playful autumn bedtime story for preschoolers follows a day of leaf piles, puddle splashes, chestnut treasures and kite flying. Read it together, then save the activities at the end for another day outdoors.

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 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.
