kids short funny bedtime stories

The sleepy bear. A bear was very sleepy. He found a cave and went in to sleep. But there were already bats in there. The bats were flying around making noise. The bear growled 'Be quiet! I'm trying to sleep'. The bats just laughed and said 'This is our home too'. Eventually, the bear got used to the noise and dozed off.

There was a squirrel named Sammy. He was very forgetful. One day, he decided to store nuts for winter. But instead of putting them in his tree hole, he put them in his neighbor's mailbox. His neighbor, a kind old owl, was very surprised when he opened the mailbox. Sammy had to apologize and then they worked together to find a better place for Sammy to store his nuts.

A little turtle was getting ready for bed. He had a hard time tucking his head into his shell because he ate too much that day. After some wiggling, he managed to get comfortable and muttered, 'Good night, world' as he fell asleep.

Sure. Here is one. There was a little pig who thought he was a superhero. Every night, he would put on his cape made of a dishcloth and try to fly off his little bed, but he always just landed on the soft rug below. His mom would come in and laugh, and then he'd snuggle up and go to sleep.

They're important because they make kids happy. When a child listens to a funny bedtime story, they go to sleep with a smile on their face. For example, a story about a clumsy bear trying to catch fish in a stream can be really amusing and help the child relax.

One funny bedtime story could be 'The Silly Squirrel'. There was a squirrel that was always getting into comical situations. It tried to store a huge pumpkin in its tiny tree hole for winter. Another is 'The Dancing Ducks'. A group of ducks decided to have a dance - off in the middle of the pond at night, making all the other animals laugh. And 'The Magic Pajamas' where a child's pajamas made them float up to the ceiling every night.

One characteristic is simple and relatable characters. For example, in 'The Tortoise and the Hare', the slow tortoise and the overconfident hare are easy for kids to understand. They can see themselves in either character. Another characteristic is a clear and engaging plot. Like in 'The Gingerbread Man', the chase of the gingerbread man by various animals keeps kids interested. And usually, there are moral lessons hidden within, such as the importance of not being too boastful as shown in 'The Hare' in 'The Tortoise and the Hare' story.

How about a story of a monkey who wears a funny hat and goes on a journey to find the perfect banana? It has lots of laughs and teaches kids about perseverance.

One great short bedtime story is 'The Little Red Hen'. The little red hen works hard to plant, harvest and make bread while the other animals just watch. In the end, she enjoys the bread all by herself. It teaches kids the value of hard work.

Animals are very common. For example, a mischievous kitten that gets into all sorts of funny situations like trying to chase its own tail while trying to get to sleep. Another element is silly dreams. Kids love to hear about characters having wild and wacky dreams during their sleep.
