bedtime stories?

Question

i need a good bedtime story

Answer 1

We have a Beginner's Bible and we read one story each night. We're on the 2nd time thru and he definitely looks forward to it each night. We keep the Bible separate from the rest of his books so it's a treat each night. He loves to hear the stories that he's been learning about at Sunday school.

Answer 2

Some of my kids' favorites were always Dr. Suess. They're fun and silly to read. Another was 'Love You Forever'. And kids are, for the most part, going to love any bedtime story, because its not about the story, its about the close time with you.

Answer 3

Ol' Possum's Book of Practical Cats, by T.S. Eliott

**EDIT**
My sis read this to her daughter when her daughter was a baby and a toddler... my niece enjoyed the rhythm of the poetry.

What I used to do for my nieces and nephews is pretend to be opening a humongous book. I called it my Invisible Storybook, then I proceeded to make up story after story (and sometimes I just retold old tried and true fairytales and stories) and turn imaginary pages as I went. It was great fun for all of us...
...unless I was really tired, and one of the kids wanted to hear the same story again. That happened only once... and when I changed certain details (a memory thing), the nephew kept saying, "No, I thought it happened THIS way..."

:-) :-) :-)

Answer 4

Their favorite really. The kids pick out the book they want for that night and it isn't always bedtime related, even though we have some. My husband and I are the ones that usually pick those, and the kids usually want their favorite book. The ones my husband and I like are "The going to bed book" by Sandra Boynton, and "Good Night!" by Claire Masurel.

Answer 5

It's always fun to create a story with your child. Just start the story with Once upon A time there was a ....... and let the creativity flow. take turns with your child adding parts to the story. By the time you're done you will have a complete story. and you'll never run out of stories, it keeps things interesting. =)

Answer 6

Just make one up. Weird dreams you've had are always amusing and original, like 'Once, Emmaline Jones was trapped in a giant cave made of bright red rocks. Speeding silver locomotives kept roaring by and the worst part was, her back teeth were floating and there was no toilet anywhere to be found...'
HAHAHA ok that one was straight out daft but you get the general idea.

Answer 7

I guess it got be be the all year round favourite, Disney stories, such as Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Jack and the BeanStalk...etc. To be more creative, you can try to form your own stories as well...:)

I've got you some tips on how to be a good storyteller too..
Hope it helps you.

Answer 8

I always make up my own about my kids or their friends and family, and we add stuff about their day or something that's coming up and I let them add into the story if they want.

Answer 9

Personally I just sticked to all-time faves that we enjoyed as kids. My husband was able to preserve his Disney collection so it's cool being able to read to my kids using these old books that we still find useful.
