On a rainy night, there was a boy named Tom. The mood was quite cozy in his small attic room. He picked up a book and began to read a bedtime story to himself. The story was about a lost puppy finding its way home in the rain. The sound of the rain outside seemed to match the rhythm of the words in the book. Tom could almost feel the puppy's wet fur and its determination. Before long, the rainy night and the story lulled him into a peaceful sleep.
One classic good night bedtime story is 'The Little Prince'. It tells the story of a little prince who travels from planet to planet, meeting various strange characters. It's full of beautiful illustrations and profound thoughts, which can make you feel warm and peaceful before going to sleep.
A simple plot makes a good bedtime story. You don't want to be thinking too hard when you're about to fall asleep. For example, a story about a little bunny finding its way home.
Once upon a time, there was a night raven. It lived in a dark, old forest. Every night, it would fly out from its nest in the tallest tree. The raven had shiny black feathers that seemed to blend with the night sky. It would fly over the sleeping village, looking for small creatures to play with. One night, it found a little mouse that was also out late. Instead of scaring the mouse, the raven became friends with it. They played games in the moonlight until the early hours of the morning. Then, the raven flew the mouse back to its hole and returned to its nest, waiting for the next night to come.
A simple rainy night bedtime story for kids could be about a little frog. The frog lived in a pond. On a rainy night, all the other animals were hiding in their homes. But the frog was happy. He jumped from lily pad to lily pad, enjoying the cool rain on his back. The raindrops made a musical sound as they hit the water. The frog's croaking added to the symphony of the rainy night. And as the kids listening to this story think about the frog, they slowly close their eyes and fall asleep.
First, consider the age. For very young children, simple and short stories like 'Goodnight Moon' are great. For older kids, more complex stories like 'The Chronicles of Narnia' can be interesting. Second, think about the theme. If you want a calming story, choose one with gentle themes like friendship or nature. Third, look at the illustrations if it's a picture book. Beautiful pictures can enhance the bedtime story experience.
The main character is the night raven. There might also be other characters like the little mouse it befriended or the lost child it helped depending on different versions of the story.

And 'The Moon's Lullaby' where the moon sings a soft song to all the little creatures in the forest to help them sleep.

Once upon a time, on the night before Christmas, little Timmy lay in his bed, his eyes wide with excitement. He could hear the wind whistling outside, but all he could think about was Santa Claus. As he drifted off to sleep, he dreamt of a sleigh pulled by reindeer landing on his roof. Santa climbed down the chimney and filled his stocking with toys. When Timmy woke up on Christmas morning, he found that his dream had come true.
