Bedtime Stories

Read bedtime stories online

We have a large collection of beautifully illustrated bedtime stories that help children relax before falling asleep. The stories are freely available so you can read them aloud or you can listen to the complementary audio. The stories are grouped by age, duration and theme, so you can easily find the right night time story for your child. 

The younger children (age 3-6) will surely love the classic The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. The naughty rabbit ignores his mother, goes on an adventure in McGregor’s garden and almost gets caught. He returns so tired that he falls asleep without dinner. The famous fairy tale The Three Little Pigs has unique pictures and is a guaranteed hit. Two pigs build non-wolf resistant houses and almost get eaten, but the third builds a brick one and they live happily ever after. If those stories are a little bit too much excitement before bedtime, we can highly recommend The Road to Sleepytown and Little Boy Blue. Both stories are short and designed to help children fall asleep. 

For children aged 6-9, we have funny stories like Why the Bananas Belong to the Monkey, chapter books like The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan, The Princess and The Goblin and Alice in Wonderland and more complex fairy tales like The Man in The Moon, The Strawberry Thief and The Violets of The Princess. 

We currently have over 3.000 stories on the website, so we’ll have a suitable story for every moment of the year. Popular collections are: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Other popular collections for specific interests are: animals, princesses and morals.
