Snails Tales Alphabet Bedtime...

David Tobin

Snails' Tales is a charming and beautifully written collection of short stories, each one inspired by a different letter of the alphabet. Designed to be both entertaining and educational, this collection subtly supports early letter recognition while nurturing a child’s curiosity about the natural world. Every story brings a new adventure, making learning feel effortless, engaging, and fun. 
Why Bedtime Stories Matter 
Reading to your child at bedtime offers lasting benefits far beyond nurturing a love of books. This simple nightly habit strengthens language development and vocabulary, as children are naturally exposed to new words and sentence patterns in context. Bedtime reading also creates a moment of emotional connection — a calm, intimate pause in the day that supports a child’s sense of security and well-being. Listening to stories helps develop focus, comprehension, and imagination, while also supporting a consistent sleep routine. In short, bedtime stories are not only enjoyable — they are powerfully developmental and deeply memorable for both parent and child.
