Sweet Dreams at 4: Bedtime Stories for 4 Year Olds: 15 Calm and Cozy Tales to Read Tonight

A balloon that floats down all night and lands in someone's garden. A puppy that needs showing the kitchen is safe. A snowman who keeps watch so nobody else has to.Every child in these fifteen stories is four - old enough to sleep in a tent twenty steps from the house and to count sheep the wrong way round, and still exactly young enough to need someone else to hold the night. Each story is a few minutes long, slows down as it goes, and ends with someone asleep, and each one is followed by a short Close your eyes and... line to whisper when the reading is done.Made for reading aloud, every night, the same one if they ask. You don't have to finish.
