Sinossi

As someone familiar with the nuances of writing but new to this genre, you have the opportunity to blend your existing skills with the freshness and innocence required for children’s literature. 
  
Remember, the stories we hear as children can profoundly shape our view of the world, making your venture not just an artistic pursuit, but a meaningful contribution to the lives of your young readers. 
  
Creating bedtime storybooks for children is a fulfilling and imaginative endeavour that combines the magic of storytelling with the responsibility of nurturing young minds. Writing such stories requires an understanding of what captivates children, ignites their imagination, and soothes them into a restful sleep. 
  
Writing bedtime storybooks for children is not just about telling a story; it's about sparking imagination, imparting wisdom, and setting the stage for sweet dreams. 
  
As a writer, you have the unique opportunity to be a part of children's nighttime routines, contributing to their emotional and cognitive development. 
  
With creativity, empathy, and understanding, you can create stories that will be cherished and remembered, night after night. While researching, I rather enjoyed these stories. But I also have a vastly overdeveloped imagination!

What's He Doing In There? -...

Fritz Leiber

What’s He Doing in There? is a light, humorous science-fiction story by Fritz Leiber, first published in 1957. The story follows a polite, soft-spoken Martian who arrives on Earth after secretly learning English from radio and television broadcasts. Instead of seeking out governments or scientists, he wisely chooses to contact a cultural anthropologist first — a man eager to study alien customs.
Everything seems perfectly calm until the Martian excuses himself and disappears into the family bathroom… and stays there. Minutes turn into an hour, then longer, and the professor’s household begins to panic. Why is he running the water? Is he ill? Is he conducting some kind of alien ritual? Is he experimenting? Is he drowning? The family debates everything from cultural taboos to possible interplanetary disasters — and no one wants to be the first person in history to knock on the bathroom door of a Martian.
Leiber turns a simple domestic scene into a comedy of curiosity and nerves, letting the tension build while the professor, his wife, and their children imagine every possible explanation. The joke is not just the mystery, but how humans react when faced with the unknown — with worry, speculation, and a touch of self-importance. It’s gentle satire from a writer who understood that science fiction can be funny without losing its insight.
Fritz Leiber (1910–1992) was one of the major figures of 20th-century speculative fiction and one of the first writers to blend horror, fantasy, and science fiction with a modern, human voice. Born in Chicago, he wrote everything from psychological ghost stories to space satire, and helped create the “sword and sorcery” genre through his famous Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories.
Leiber’s work earned the Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards, and he is often credited with bringing literary style and emotional depth into pulp-era storytelling.

Hall Of Mirrors

Fredric Brown

Hall Of Mirrors by Fredric Brown - It is a tough decision to make—whether to give up your life so you can live it over again! 
For an instant you think it is temporary blindness, this sudden dark that comes in the middle of a bright afternoon. 
It must be blindness, you think; could the sun that was tanning you have gone out instantaneously, leaving you in utter blackness? 
Then the nerves of your body tell you that you are standing, whereas only a second ago you were sitting comfortably, almost reclining, in a canvas chair. In the patio of a friend's house in Beverly Hills. Talking to Barbara, your fiancée. Looking at Barbara—Barbara in a swim suit—her skin golden tan in the brilliant sunshine, beautiful. 
You wore swimming trunks. Now you do not feel them on you; the slight pressure of the elastic waistband is no longer there against your waist. You touch your hands to your hips. You are naked. And standing. 
Whatever has happened to you is more than a change to sudden darkness or to sudden blindness. 
You raise your hands gropingly before you. They touch a plain smooth surface, a wall. You spread them apart and each hand reaches a corner. You pivot slowly. A second wall, then a third, then a door. You are in a closet about four feet square. 
Your hand finds the knob of the door. It turns and you push the door open. 
There is light now. The door has opened to a lighted room ... a room that you have never seen before.
