Three more bedtime stories. One toddler who is still, somehow, not tired.
Some books are written for toddlers.
Some books are written for the parent reading at 8pm with one eye closed.
Dr. Dad's Bedtime Stories is written for both.
Dr. Dad - Anaesthetic Trainee by day, bedtime storyteller by night - returns with three more original rhyming tales that follow Ambi, a bright-eyed one-and-a-half-year-old, through worlds that are warm, woolly, and wonderfully weird. Each story winds gently down to sleep, with puns slipped in for the grown-up who deserves a quiet laugh after a very long day.
Inside Volume 2:
- Ambi and the Great Blanket-Fort Breakout - Hoover the security-bot guards Toy Fort Ten-Ton all night long. He is very good at his job. He is about to be outwitted by a toddler and a bunny.
- Ambi and Crumble's Snooze-Bun Sky Bakery - A cloud shaped like a bun. A hedgehog who never touches cake. And one missing pinch of Dream-Dust standing between the whole sky and a good night's sleep.
- Ambi and the Cat Cannon of Volcano Nap-atoa - A giant bronze cannon, one very tempting button, and considerably more flying cats in pyjamas than anyone expected.
Why parents love it:
- Consistent AABB rhyme scheme - easy to read aloud even on zero sleep
- Puns and wordplay layered in for the grown-up reading for the tenth time tonight
- Calm, sleep-signalling endings - stories that actually work as bedtime
- Warm Asian family representation woven naturally throughout
Why toddlers love it:
- Bouncy, musical language that invites joining in
- A relatable little hero who looks like them and lives like them
- Whimsical watercolour illustrations spread across every page
- Stories short enough to finish - long enough to matter
Perfect for ages 0-5. Ideal for bedtime, naptime, or any time a small person needs to power down gracefully. Also makes a great companion to Volume 1.
Also available as a YouTube series - search Dr. Dad's Bedtime Stories to watch Ambi's adventures come to life.
Whimsical. Warm. Medically approved for drowsiness.
