What are the different types of stories for kids?
A bedtime story could be a fairy tale, a fable or any short story that isn't too scary. Our kid’s stories come in all shapes and sizes, from silly rhymes to slightly more complex storylines.
Whether you need stories to make your little one laugh, think or simply get lost in a good old-fashioned bedtime story adventure – we’ve got it all!
Our story collection includes brave children, lots of animals (including a scheming wolf or two) princesses, some long hair and many more family-friendly themes. Can you guess which stories we’re talking about?
Why are bedtime stories so important?
We all know a bedtime routine helps to get our little ones off to sleep, and we would argue that a bedtime story is a vital part of the routine. Nighttime stories are an ideal way to end the day, as they help ease children into a peaceful sleep. Bedtime stories for kids are important because they help to create a calming environment, whether nighttime stories are read sitting down or in bed, they encourage us to slow down.
Plus did you know reading before bed has been proven to help kids (and adults!) have a better sleep? Studies have shown that reading as little as 6 minutes per day can improve our quality of sleep, reduce stress, and sharpen our mental ability.
Plus reading doesn't just help children have a good night's sleep, it helps adults too.
We want bedtime routines to be a positive experience for children and parents alike. Our digital books are designed to inspire imagination and creativity in our young readers.
Sooper Books has a range of short bedtime stories for kids, from 2 minutes to 5 minutes. These are perfect for a nighttime routine. We know bedtimes can be unpredictable, however a short bedtime story for kids can help create an easier bedtime routine.
With so many stories to choose from, you can always find the perfect bedtime story on Sooper Books.
Why do we write bedtime stories for kids?
When we first decided to create a bedtime story for kids, we knew we wanted it to be fun, engaging and high quality.
We wanted Sooper Books to bring children's publishing into the 21st century. We strongly believe that nighttime stories for kids need to fit seamlessly into modern family lives which is why our free stories are all online.
It began when we started writing stories for our own family. Then our friends and wider families asked for copies and we started to share Sooper Books with other children.
At Sooper Books we write, curate and narrate stories for kids so they can enjoy the best quality content, enchanting stories and magical adventures. With our stories we work towards promoting a positive attitude to reading and instil a love of books in children from an early age.

Bedtime stories for children. ⭐😴 Read online with pictures.
In this section we have collected interesting works from all over the world that are suitable for reading before bed. You can read bedtime stories online and completely free. These small instructive and kind stories will help children calm down after a stormy day and tune in to rest.
In bedtime stories you will not find cruelty and frightening characters. Only light plots and pleasant characters.
At the bottom of each fairy tale there is a hint for which age it is intended.
Children's fairy tales are that part of childhood that stays with us forever, even when childhood is gone. This is a magical world that is wide open in front of the baby, and acquaintance with it begins with a short and sweet bedtime story.
There is no strict age limit in reading fairy tales to a child. Reading for a child is primarily an opportunity for emotional intimacy with an adult. Even if not a word is clear yet, the familiar timbre of the voice, the measured rhythm soothe the baby and stimulate its development. That is why psychologists recommend reading bedtime stories even to babies. The main condition: the process should bring pleasure to both the adult and the baby.
A bedtime story read by a parent is a powerful stimulus for the child's development, the child's wide opportunities in the following areas: imagination; fantasy; creative thinking; speech skills; emotional development; the ability to find a way out of problem situations.
Unlike cartoons, a fairy tale does not present the child with ready-made images and the world invented by the artist, but invites him to think, think out and imagine what is not in the illustrations.
Simply put, we read to children at night and at the same time unleash their creative potential.
The next step is the first children's tests of themselves as an author and artist, but that will come later. And now such familiar and at the same time amazing short bedtime stories come to the aid of parents.
Bedtime stories - what should they be?
It often happens that every day a child asks for the hundredth time to read a familiar fairy tale to him, not wanting to listen to any others.
It's not worth arguing and trying to read something new - a bedtime story exists just to lull and give pleasant dreams. So, it should be: short; calm; kind; without dynamic details in the plot, but with a happy ending.
Repeated repetition of the same situation (a familiar room, a favorite blanket and a soft toy, next to it is a mother reading a familiar fairy tale) turns into a kind of ritual for the baby, which has a calming effect. It helps relieve the emotional stress that has accumulated over a long day.
Short stories on our website
The Short Bedtime Stories section presents famous works by Russian and foreign authors that have become favorites for children all over the world.
Magic little men created by Astrid Lindgren, Donald Bisset's kind tigers, Sergei Kozlov's inseparable Hedgehog and Bear cub - these and other characters are looking forward to meeting young readers.
Here you will also find folk tales and illustrated works by Vladimir Suteev. Kids will be delighted with simple instructive stories and colorful pictures created by a real Master.
Tips on the site
The free short bedtime stories presented on our site are so diverse that sometimes it can be difficult to find the right one. To help parents, we have developed a convenient search engine that allows you to view the parameters of a fairy tale without opening it: age of readers; reading time; short description; popularity indicator; illustration.
