Baby Edward's Bedtime Collection: Stories designed to get children to sleep.

Paperback (Independently published March 19, 2019)
Three stories for ages 3-8 yrs. These stories are designed to get your children to sleep at bedtime. Baby Edward becomes lost in "Where is Baby Edward?" and the other elephants go on a journey to find him. Children are drawn in to the rhythmic and melodic nature of the adventure, and as the journey unfolds so do the tricks to lull the listener to sleep. The elephants go across the savanna, through the marshes, up a river and through a waterfall to a cave beyond to try and find the lost Baby Edward. In "The Ookie Gookie Stuff," Edward and his cousin become stuck in the sticky, smelly, gooey, blacky-brown ookie gookie stuff and the other elephants have to figure out how to rescue them without getting stuck themselves. Edward has his friends and cousins round for a sleepover in the third story and they can't get to sleep. Mummy elephant tries different technique for each younger elephant, and one by one they are soon snoring and dreaming. The stories use a number of established techniques such as repeated melodic phrases (read in hushed, gentle tones), characters that yawn (studies have shown this to be contagious especially with children) and the occasional sound that is similar to “white noise” (like a waterfall or radio interference) which is widely used as a sleep aid for babies and likened to sounds experienced in the womb.Always start at the beginning, and if all goes to plan, you won't reach the end. Check the audio versions for the most effective way of reading the stories.
