Other editions of book The Big Red Ball

Challenging or frightening strories before going to sleep do not encourage a deep, trouble free sleep. The story is intended to calm the children and make them feel safe from the time they go to bed until they are awake and are with their parents again. The repetition of Hummmmmmmmmm on each page is meant to assist parents in bringing the child to a state of drowsiness that will induce an irresistible urge to sleep. The Big Red Ball allows them to float safely above everything while interacting with friends and visiting interesting places. Prayers and Mantras have been used throughout history to calm and reassure people, and this story is intended to do the same for small children.
