Léo · The Cloud With the Hiccups · silly story to make a child laugh · funny story for kids · story to fall asleep

A bedtime adventure for children, silly and tender all at once. Hic! In the kingdom of Tournebois, a poor little cloud has caught the hiccups, and with every single "hic" it lets loose a sudden surprise downpour. Into the brass band's tuba, splash. Onto the basket of warm, fresh croissants, splash. And then right inside a sleepy guard's boot, splash again.

Leo and Pistache set off on a hunt for the silliest, most far-fetched cure imaginable to soothe this drippy little case of the hiccups. Drink water upside down, give the cloud a friendly little fright, hold your breath and count slowly to ten, they try absolutely everything they can possibly think of, to the great delight of the whole watching crowd and plenty of helpless, rolling laughter. The whole kingdom joins in, offering its own daft suggestions, until the chase after a cure becomes the funniest part of all. No matter how soggy things get, the two friends keep their good humour and never once give up on the poor little cloud.

Through all the soggy mishaps and the puddles, the kingdom never once loses its good humour, and the little cloud is treated with patience and gentleness rather than any crossness. In the end, it is a warm hug and a shared giggle that work far better than any clever remedy at all.

This is a funny, gentle adventure, full of gags and kindness from the very first "hic" to the very last. Perfect for ending the day with a smile and a calmer, lighter heart. It is a story where being gentle and a little bit silly turns out to be exactly the right answer.

Beneath all the laughs, it quietly shows that the kindest way to help someone who is struggling is with patience, not impatience. A cheerful, soft story to ease into the night.

A screen-free audio adventure for children from age 5, lovely at bedtime or on a car trip. As always with Tilibou, the ending settles softly, without music, so your child can drift off peacefully. 🐉
