Bedtime stories for children. ⭐😴 Read online with pictures.
💡 All works of this section can be listened to or downloaded on our website.
💡 You are in the fairy tale section.
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 what 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 creativity. 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.
The 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 for the baby into a kind of ritual that 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, Sergey 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 it can sometimes 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.

Children's literature is a section of books intended for children up to about twelve or fourteen years of age. The characteristic features of this genre are small volume, simplicity of text and recognizable elements. Most often, stories, fairy tales and poems act as children's literature. But in addition, there are full-fledged series of novels written for older children, for example in the genre of adventure or even fantasy.
Features of books in the genre Children's literature in 2020
The genre of children's literature is one of the oldest in literature. Numerous folklore tales, epics, stories originate from the depths of centuries, and this is an undoubted part of children's books. Many works were passed down from generation to generation orally, and only in the seventeenth century they began to be recorded and published in small collections.
Books of children's literature are in demand not only among children (and their parents), but also among teenagers and even adults who have decided to escape from the gray everyday life. For many, good children's stories are an excellent opportunity to plunge into childhood and nostalgic about it. Here it is worth highlighting the section of works in which famous books written for adults are revised and adapted for children's perception.
Children, teenagers or fairy-tale creatures are the heroes of the works most often. They get into dangerous situations, from which their parents or friends help them get out, and at the end, morality and conclusions are fairly transparently summed up so that the children learn such a lesson. It is on the example of the heroes of children's books that children are given a simple explanation why you can’t poke your fingers into a socket, you need to study, or eat porridge in the morning. Children's books contain many bright pictures, the purpose of which is to attract and hold the attention of a restless child for as long as possible.
