Summary

The Big Bedtime collection includes five Baby Edward stories. These stories are designed to get your children to sleep at bedtime. They use immersive audio—including sound effects, music, and environmental ambiance—to engage children, and as the stories unfold, so do the tricks to lull the listener to sleep.

  • Baby Edward becomes lost in "Where is Baby Edward?", and the other elephants go on a journey to find him. 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 "Baby Edward and 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 big sleepover in the third story, and they all have trouble getting to sleep. Mummy elephant tries different technique for each younger elephant, and one by one, they are soon snoring and dreaming.
  • In “Who's There?”, all the elephants have to guess which animal is behind the waterfall, but all is not what it seems!
  • In “Grandma has a Secret”, the elephants go searching for treats.

All the stories employ number of established techniques such as repeated melodic phrases, 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!

Not sure on age range books are aimed for

My baby doesn’t sleep so thought I’d try this. Possibly a bit too young, it made me sleepy but not him.

Not keen on the names, Edward I can understand as it’s an E like and elephant, but Jesse and Jamie just remind me of Pokemon (Jesse and James) ….possibly the author has children with these names which is why they have been chosen. Would rather all names started with an E
