Category: Funny

Lost bones, enormous sneezes, mixed-up costumes and characters with terrible timing drive these funny bedtime stories. The humour comes from misunderstandings, wordplay, repeated sounds and plans that go pleasantly wrong. Halloween tales share the category with farm mishaps and magical nonsense. Most keep the conflict light, making them useful when children want one last laugh before the story slows toward sleep.

The Talking Tree and the Lost Squirrel

Nibbles needs a home after his old tree falls down. In this squirrel bedtime story, a talking tree named Sir Barkington offers a perfect hollow and an endless supply of terrible jokes. Can Nibbles get used to such a talkative new friend?

Ollie Owl and the Missing Moon Misadventure

Ollie Owl cannot see the moon, so he searches the forest with Albert the wolf and Freedy the firefly. This moon bedtime story follows their questions and mishaps until Professor Hoot offers an explanation. It is an animal fantasy, not an accurate calendar of the Moon's phases.

Secret of the Parking Lot

Every night, six cars come alive in a supermarket parking lot. In this funny car bedtime story, Engin, Vanny, Fastie, Betty, Electra, and Trunky swap adventures, remember how they outsmarted two thieves, and investigate a mysterious self-driving visitor.

Stanley the Shoe

Stanley is an old shoe left in the garden, until a city gang offers him a new adventure. This long fantasy bedtime story follows the theft of a magical shoelace and Stanley's decision to make amends. Read it in chapters with older children and talk about the choices he makes.
