Just a dream.That's all it was - just a dream.But it was a dream that Zach looked forward to every night. His days may have been filled with surviving school, or looking after his aunt, but his nights ... at night, Zach would wake up, living another, much better, life in a wonderful place called Marlowe.At night, he was happy. And then everything changed - it turned out that he'd been wrong all this time.It wasn't just a dream.It was more, so much more ...

What if .. it wasn't 'just a dream'? At school, Tom is surrounded by children that other schools have got rid of. At home, he's the carer for an aunt who barely remembers or cares that he exists, while his Dad spends most of the year away, always looking for work.At night, though, Tom finds a new life, and a new home, in his dreams. But then, everything changes when he realises that, maybe, it isn't a dream after all.

This book offers a revolutionary way to tell bedtime stories helping to make bedtime a time of peace, calm and sleep for your child. Based on psychological principles and techniques, these stories will help to guide your child comfortably asleep. They are to be read to your child at bedtime, rather than with or by your child. These bedtime stories are written to be read to 4-7 year old's (they can be read to children as young as two) as they rest in bed with their eyes shut listening along. Each of the stories takes about 10-15 minutes to read. The sleepy bedtime story approach has been taught to many parents and used by professionals working in care homes to help children fall asleep at night. This approach can be used with any story, but this is the first time that stories have been written specifically to optimise the effectiveness of the techniques. If you are after a scientific, calming, relaxing approach to getting your child to sleep, then this is definitely the bedtime stories book for you.
