Where Is Baby Edward? — Paul King

This story is designed to get your children to sleep. It uses a number of established techniques such as repeated melodic phrases (read in hushed, gentle tones), characters that yawn (studies have shown this to be contagious especially with children) and the occasional sound that is similar to “white noise” (like a waterfall or radio interference) which is widely used as a sleep aid for babies and likened to sounds experienced in the womb. Always start at the beginning of the story and if all goes to plan you won't reach the end very often.
