Cassie · Tornado's Nap · nap time story for toddlers · quiet time at home · screen-free audio story

A funny bedtime story for kids that is just the right amount of sleepy. It is a big day in Cactus-Ville: the whole town is heading off on a grand outing to the Rolling Pebbles Desert. Everything is ready and packed and waiting, except for one small detail. A detail that happens to be snoring. Tornado the pony is fast asleep, in a slumber so deep, so vast, and so utterly historic that it is almost magnificent.

There is simply no waking him, no way, no how, not for love nor carrots. So Cassie dreams up a thousand schemes, each one sillier and more wonderfully ridiculous than the last, to rouse this champion sleeper from his happy dream. Tickling his floppy ears, trumpeting a great brass horn, tempting him with all of his very favourite treats, she tries the whole entire lot. It is the sort of mission that, if we are honest, rather makes you want to yawn along too. Snores rumble out of him like distant thunder, and the whole town gathers round to watch this legendary nap.

And that, of course, is exactly the charm of the whole thing. As the schemes grow drowsier and the wide desert grows quieter and quieter, the story itself gently slows right down and tiptoes, on soft little hooves, toward sleep. The more she tries, the sleepier the whole town seems to feel, until even the desert appears to be dozing.

This is a story that makes you laugh and makes you yawn, in just the right, sleepy measure. The ideal companion for bedtime or nap time, for when little eyes are already starting to feel heavy. It is a cleverly drowsy little story, designed to slow right down just as your child does.

Funny at the start and soothing by the end, it is the kind of tale that carries a child gently all the way from giggles into rest.

A screen-free audio story for children ages 3 to 5, perfect at bedtime or at nap time. And even after all the giggles, the Tilibou ending stays soft and quiet, without music, to help everyone settle before the night. 🤠
