Sweet Dreams at 7: Bedtime Stories for 7 Year Olds: 15 Calm and Cozy Tales to Read Tonight

A night ferry that says hello to every buoy. A shop that opens only after dark and sells one thing and asks nothing for it. A campfire whose best bit is the bit nobody stays for.Every child in these fifteen stories is seven - old enough to keep the weather log, mind the lights, sit up with the night bakery and be trusted with a telescope, 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 whisper once the reading is done.Made for reading aloud, or for reading alone with the lamp on low. You don't have to finish the story.
