Description Description

Bring a moment of calm to the end of a busy day with this Sleepy Soundbook – combining sound, storytelling and a little dreamy magic.

Here come our passengers, tickets at the ready: Lullaby the leopard, Rockabye the rabbit, Starlight the sloth . . . everyone is here, for a trip on the Dreamland Express. And readers can join the journey – press the star on each page to bring the sounds of the story to life!

The train winds through a forest; past a gently flowing river; through and under a waterfall; around a park full of birdsong; to the seaside; up into the mountains; under a sky full of stars; into a station, where crickets are chirping; and then into a cosy mountain cabin, where the fire crackles and a soothing song sends the little friends to sleep.  

This sound book features:

  • 10 touch-activated, ten-second sound clips, each one a blend of calming noises from nature and soft, sleepy instrumental music.
  • Rhythmic, tactile sounds including crickets chirping and the gentle crackle of a fire – offering ASMR appeal and creating an immersive experience that should help children feel cocooned and calm.
  • A charming story with adorable animal characters, told in words that are simple and soothing: to be read slowly and softly.
  • Hand-painted artwork from rising star Lauren Degraaf, rich with details of the train’s starlit journey – with a shimmery cover. 

The result is a gentle sensory wind-down . . . A story to charm and inspire, illustrations to get lost in and sounds to send little ones drifting off on their own trip to Dreamland!
