Sometimes it can be a challenge to get a six-year-old to go to sleep, and these stories are designed to keep children focused while they lie in bed waiting to get to sleep. The other benefit of these stories is that they are educational, and so over time, young listeners should build up knowledge of, and curiosity for, the natural world. The stories span a range of topics including the planets in our solar system, understanding how animals adapt to desert environments, what lives in our oceans, animals of the forest, and the cities of the world.
