Where is Baby Edward?: A bedtime story designed to help children get to sleep

By Mr Charlie Douglas

For ages 3-8 yrs. This story is designed to get your children to sleep at bedtime. Baby Edward becomes lost and the other elephants go on a journey to find him. Children are drawn in to the rhythmic and melodic nature of the adventure, and as the journey unfolds so do the tricks to lull the listener to sleep.In this story, the first of the series, 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.The book uses a number of established techniques such as repeated melodic phrases (read in hushed, gentle tones), 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 of the story and if all goes to plan, you won't reach the end. Check the audio version for the most effective way of reading the story.
