Bring a moment of calm to the end of a busy day with this Sleepy Soundbook – combining sound, storytelling and a little dreamy magic.
Here come our passengers, tickets at the ready: Lullaby the leopard, Rockabye the rabbit, Starlight the sloth . . . everyone is here, for a trip on the Dreamland Express. And readers can join the journey – press the star on each page to bring the sounds of the story to life!
The train winds through a forest; past a gently flowing river; through and under a waterfall; around a park full of birdsong; to the seaside; up into the mountains; under a sky full of stars; into a station, where crickets are chirping; and then into a cosy mountain cabin, where the fire crackles and a soothing song sends the little friends to sleep.
This sound book features:
- 10 touch-activated, ten-second sound clips, each one a blend of calming noises from nature and soft, sleepy instrumental music.
- Rhythmic, tactile sounds including crickets chirping and the gentle crackle of a fire – offering ASMR appeal and creating an immersive experience that should help children feel cocooned and calm.
- A charming story with adorable animal characters, told in words that are simple and soothing: to be read slowly and softly.
- Hand-painted artwork from rising star Lauren Degraaf, rich with details of the train’s starlit journey – with a shimmery cover.
The result is a gentle sensory wind-down . . . A story to charm and inspire, illustrations to get lost in and sounds to send little ones drifting off on their own trip to Dreamland!
MANUFACTURER’S NOTE:
Please pull the white tab out of the back of the book before use. Sound buttons require a firm push in exact location to work, which may be hard for young children.
Children’s book illustrator Lauren Degraaf takes inspiration from the nature that surrounds her home, using light and shadow to capture different atmospheres and achieve a hazy, dreamlike look in her work. The Magic Bedtime Train Ride is her second book, after A Roll of the Dice: Enchanted Forest (Magic Cat). Visit her at her website www.laurendegraafillo.com/
