5 Minute Stories
Welcome to 5-Minute Stories! These short bedtime stories are wonderful and ideal for planting sweet dreams in a hurry. Now when I read them aloud, I have rarely actually finished in five minutes or less. It seems they are often closer to seven minutes. At least that’s the case when I read them aloud. But the publishers say “5-Minute Stories” so that’s what I call them!
My wife and I were visiting our daughter’s family when she pulled out one of these collections. The first one I saw had a number of Winnie the Pooh and Hundred Acre Wood short stories. My grandsons were allowed a couple stories or storybooks a night before bed. That’s where I learned how both handy and happy these stories are.
Other Suggested Stories
For this grandpa, bedtime stories should foster happy feelings to sleep by. The kinds of stories that set up a happy ending to the day varies by age. My older grandkids love adventure and suspense stories with happy endings. The Boxcar Children, for example, remains an absolute favorite in our family. Of course fantasy and magic always work regardless of age. The imagination of children is a precious resource. I like books — and choose them to read aloud — that inspire that imagination. Pixar Stories such as Cars and Finding Nemo combine adventure, fantasy, suspense and fun.
