When Noah builds a seal out of sand, something truly magical happens . . .

Hare is always raring to go. He races through the day while the ever-patient Tortoise does his best to keep up. Hare, it certainly seems to Tortoise, has boundless energy. So Tortoise has plans for when it is time for Hare to go to bed - a well-deserved rest with a cup of chamomile tea! And, for the first time in the day, it is Tortoise who is in a hurry. He reads speedily, with one eye on his cuppa. But Hare has other ideas. As far as he is concerned, when it's time for his bedtime story from Tortoise, he is no longer in a hurry. In fact he wants to take all the time in the world and linger over every picture. After all, some things just shouldn't be rushed! Toddlers will love this simple story, with its cosy farmland setting and lovable characters. And while adults are reading a story that highlights the differences between the energetic and impetuous Hare and the rather more circumspect Tortoise, they will no doubt smile as they recognise the parallels with their own experiences of childcare!

Bean is a little rabbit. Although she's getting bigger every day, she is sure that she will never, ever be too big for her Cloth. So when Mummy and Daddy try to persuade her, very gently, that perhaps she can stop carrying Cloth everywhere with her, Bean decides she must hide Cloth in a safeplace to protect it from being taken away. But the trouble with hiding things in very safe places is that they can't always be found again and Bean has to face her first bedtime without Cloth. Naturally, Bean doesn't like being without her Cloth but, day by day, she learns to let go. Then one day, along time later when Bean is out playing with her friends, she sees a little baby fox cub cuddling her Cloth. Feeling happy for the little fox cub and not at all envious that he now has her Cloth makes Bean feel very grown up indeed!

Manchmal mag Jonas, der kleine Bär, einfach nicht einschlafen. Was, wenn er in der Nacht von dem großen unheimlichen Baumbären träumt? Doch zum Glück hat sein Papa eine Idee. „Du brauchst etwas Schönes, woran du vor dem Einschlafen denken kannst“, meint er. „Schöne Gedanken vertreiben nämlich die schlechten Träume, weißt du?“ Und dann erzählt Papa seinem kleinen Bärenkind von dem wundervollsten Tag, an den er sich erinnern kann, dem Tag, an dem Jonas geboren wurde. Eine herzerwärmende Geschichte über das Nicht-Einschlafen-Können und über die innige Liebe zwischen Vater und Sohn.
