5-Minute Really True Stories for Bedtime

I received an advanced copy of this audiobook, from the publisher through netgalley, in exchange for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. I absolutely enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The narrators did a great job reading this book. The author did a great job writing this book. The pacing of each story is great. It keeps your attention from the first minute. I would recommend listening to this audiobook to anyone and everyone. This audiobook is in stores now for $12.99 (USD).

I have a confession to make. I didn’t listen to the stories in this book at bedtime. I was going to save them, but I rand out of stuff to listen to during the workday and thought I’d start, but when I started I couldn’t stop.

I LOVE Joanna Lumley’s voice. She’s British with a melodic voice that’s perfect for bedtime stories. Plus, these stories are short and full of interesting facts that all kids will love, from how astronauts sleep on the space station to how sharks sleep in the depths of the ocean. This audiobook was a pleasant way to spend a couple of work hours, but this would absolutely be perfect to divide up and listen to with your little one at bedtime.

It’s out now, so if you’re looking for new and cool things to add to your bedtime routine, definitely give this one a try.

This book was interesting and my daughter climbed into bed without a fuss and actively listened to it. The narration was also soothing enough that she was able to fall asleep to it. There are lots of interesting facts related to sleeping in this book.

Big thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook!

The audiobook is filled with 30 short stories related to sleep for children. From bears to astronauts, and from the Egyptians to lullabies, the audiobook takes you on a whole journey! The connection between sleep and the subject of the short story was always there, sometimes in the most creative ways. The audiobook is filled with fun facts, that are really true. I'm a 21-year-old and even I learned so many new things! My boyfriend (who's an ecologist) was even proud of me when I named all the new things I learned about owls and bats!

The narrator did an excellent job. I never drifted off while listening, even when driving home after a long day of work. The voice and the tone are catching but calming, the ideal combination for bedtime stories. 

I highly recommend this book, whether it's for your kids or for yourself, I'm sure you'll enjoy it ;)

What a wonderful book! This book contains 30 short stories related to sleep for children. The audio by Joanna Lumley’s is specular, calming and soothing perfect for before bed. I like the focus on sleep for children, teaching them the importance of sleep while entertaining with little stories that include animals, historical characters etc. 

Also many sleep related questions are addressed such as, Why do we sleep? What are dreams? or How do they sleep? which focuses on how animals sleep and where, which is adorable and informative. 

I'm always on the look out for great audio books to introduce children to this way of reading, 5-Minute Really True Stories for Bedtime is a great one!
