The story starts on a farm, where a duck sits on a clutch of eggs to make them hatch. The eggs hatch one by one, and soon, six yellow-feathered ducklings are chirping excitedly. The last egg takes longer to hatch, and a strange-looking duckling with grey feathers emerges. Everybody finds the grey duckling ugly, including its mother.

However, the duckling is afraid of the farmer’s noisy children and flees to a cave by a frozen lake. When spring comes, a flock of beautiful swans descend on the lake, and the duckling, which is now fully grown, but lonely, approaches the swans, fully expecting to be rejected. To his surprise, the swans welcome him. After this, the duckling sees his reflection in the water. It is then when he realizes that he is not an “ugly duckling” but a beautiful swan like all of the others. Midas and the Golden Touch– This ancient story from...

Best Bedtime Stories for Toddlers The best bedtime stories for toddlers can be a little longer than baby stories, but still should be between 2-10 minute reads. Any longer than that and toddlers generally tend to float off and lose focus. Toddler stories oftentimes have bright illustrations, rhymes, onomatopoeias (like ROAR, CHIRP, or MOOOO), or other repeating themes that give the story a sense of cadence and rhythm. Best Bedtime Stories for Age 5-8 As kids get older, bedtime stories can get a little longer and with more words on each page. You may even want to try short chapter books. Our favorite reads for this age group include a mix of “choose your own adventure”, short story treasury books, and easy readers. #1. Book Length Some nights you may have more time to read than other nights. Consider how many pages are in each book before deciding to start one. Some children like to read the book themselves. In those cases, allow for extra time for them to work through challenging words if they are early readers. It’s important to give children time to figure out the words themselves instead of rushing through the book. #2. Subject Matter Consider the subject matter. What types of things is your child into lately? Or what lifestyle topics have been coming up? Use books to build connections for topics they are already interested in or to serve as talking points for topics that may be hard to bring up. • • • • • • • • • • • #3. Child Preference During the course of the day, c...
