5 Minute Tales - Bedtime Stories: Young Story Time

Good value for these nicely illustrated wee books for young children over 2yrs old. But, I can't work out if they're "Olde Tales", or written by folks unused to little kids language skills. There's a Lot of words & some sentence phrasing which our 7yr old grandson has trouble understanding - especially when he's being 'Big Bro' & reading them to his younger siblings & cousins & getting frustrated when a 4 or 5 yr old asks him: "What does that mean?"— EG: — Just then Mouse scurried by. Owl was so thrilled to see him, that he swooped down at once. ....the terrified creature.... "....just in case Owl wants me for dinner tonight"— Rather than: 'Then sad Owl saw Mouse moving about under the bushes. Hungry Mouse was So busy looking for his dinner, that when Owl hooted; "TWIT-TWOO! I SEE YOU!", he jumped up & ran, as fast as he could, right into his mouse-hole! "Where Are You, Mouse?' hooted Owl, 'I Want To Catch You!" "Well I don't Want To Be Caught!" said the scared little Mouse!' -

My cuz didn't want to sleep and it was his 5th birthday so he had to get some rest before the birthday party. Then I read him a story from the app (The Snoogle Race) and then he felt he had his own adventure and went to sleep.

This book tells a story about some alien kids playing and racing in the outer space at time making noises and disturbing the other planets and stars so the Moon stopped them and told them to go to sleep and will be able to play again in the morning. Great story to put kids to sleep.
