Not long ago, in a land very near, a parent wanted bedtime stories with a point.
If you’re that parent, look no further! This book has fourteen stories that are: relevant, fun, contemporary, short, and geared toward essential virtues.
As a parent of young boys, Savannah Bloom found read-aloud stories to either be 1) antiquated fairy tales, 2) too cheesy, or 3) contemporary and fun, but without a moral lesson.
So, Mrs. Bloom set out to write 5-Minute Modern Day Bedtime Stories to fill a void for parents wanting to use the vital bedtime routine to both entertain modern children AND teach valuable character to their little ones, especially geared for ages 5-8.
She wanted to provide parents like her with read-aloud stories that…
…make sense to today’s children.
…are witty, fun, and entertaining.
…are whimsical, but not cheesy.
…build character.
…and are short, so you can go do adult things.
Her first collection promotes character traits such as: Honesty, Self-Control, Helpfulness, Kindness, Positivity, Persistence, Gratitude, Cleanliness, Hard Work, and more, all while containing several features that parents will appreciate:
– Fun and serious questions to discuss with your child to ensure the lesson hits home.
– Human protagonists only, because research shows that kids learn character best from other kids – not anthropomorphic animals (Larsen, Lee, Ganea. Developmental Science, 2017.)
– All original stories, though some parallel old favorites (example: The Boy Who Cried Drone).
– Whimsical and fantastic vibe through use of technology (drones, portals, virtual reality, etc) with just enough plausibility to spark STEM dreams.
– No illustrations to motivate kids to lay in bed, close their eyes, and fully engage their imaginations rather than demand you awkwardly position the book to show them every picture.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, then click the buy button today. Also, leave us a review if you would like MORE stories like these. Volume 2 is on its way because of positive reviews from happy parents! Let Savannah know if you want a third volume!
From the Publisher
Read Alouds Allow For Imagination
Bedtime read-alouds are perfect for distraction-free interaction. Have your child nuzzle into her pillow and close her eyes while you read, allowing her imagination to soar. (And you won’t have to worry about showing the pictures.)
Stories for Our Future
Fairy tales can feel ancient and aloof. The 5-Minute Modern Day Bedtime Stories aim to provide fun, relevant stories with human characters your children can relate to in today’s society. And instead of magic, next-gen technology provides the same sense of whimsical wonder.
Character-Centered
Each story is crafted to show how a child may encounter the need for a character trait in real life (though whimsical and a bit far-fetched at times). Though the child characters aren’t perfect, good character is rewarded, bad character is not.
Family Building
Each story ends with one FUN question and one SERIOUS question for great bonding and learning. The books aim to open the door for parents to explore their child’s inner thoughts and character. You’ll cherish these opportunities and memories every night.
