Sweet Dreams at 11: Bedtime Stories for 11 Year Olds: 15 Calm and Cozy Tales to Read Tonight

A revision folder with a book on top as a lid. A galaxy you can only see by not quite looking at it. A causeway under the tide, with nobody in or out till one.Every child in these fifteen stories is eleven - old enough to time a ship across a bay, ring the bells, float on a warm lake without fighting it, and go to bed before the year turns, and still young enough to need someone else to hold the night. Each story starts at ordinary speed and ends with someone asleep, and each one is followed by a short Close your eyes and... line to read last, with the lamp on low.Made for reading alone. You don't have to finish the story. Nobody ever does.The fifteen stories- The Night Before- The Container Ship- The Old Dog- The Smudge- The Metronome- Three in the Morning- The Wood Store- The Dawn Alarm- The Bell Ringers- The Airport- The Causeway- The Last Chord- The Hay Meadow- Floating- The Year TurningMade for bedtime- Every story is written for a 11-year-old to read - the child in each one is 11, and so are the things they get to do- Each story slows down as it goes and ends with someone asleep- A short Close your eyes and... line after every story, to whisper once the reading is done- A full-colour pencil illustration for every story- No two books in the series share a story - each age gets fifteen of its ownBook 9 of 10 in the Sweet Dreams at N series - one book for every age from 3 to 12. 76 pages, 6 × 9 inches, full colour.
