Ambi's Bedtime Stories

Three bedtime stories. One very sleepy toddler. Zero skipped pages.

Some books are written for toddlers.
Some books are written for the parent reading at 8pm with one eye closed.
Ambi's Bedtime Stories is written for both.

Dr. Dad - Anaesthetic Trainee by day, bedtime storyteller by night - has crafted three original rhyming tales that follow Ambi, a bright-eyed one-and-a-half-year-old, through worlds that are warm, woolly, and wonderfully weird. Each story winds gently down to sleep, with puns slipped in for the grown-up who deserves a quiet laugh after a very long day.

• Ambi and the Rattle-Rattle Rolls - A rattling, clattering adventure in a very old Rolls-Royce, past persimmon trees and warm dumplings, all the way to sleep.
• Ambi and the Hop-Hop Cheese Moon - The moon smells of parmesan tonight. A bunny named Hoppleton Brie knows the way. One hop into dreamland, then two, then none.
• The Anaesthetist in Training and the Fever Flamingo - Fev the flamingo has put nine thousand hedgehogs to sleep. Now he's discovered fluffening. A lateral career. Very promising.

• Consistent AABB rhyme scheme - easy to read aloud even on zero sleep
• Puns and wordplay layered in for the grown-up reading for the tenth time tonight
• Calm, sleep-signalling endings - stories that actually work as bedtime
• Warm Asian family representation woven naturally throughout

• Bouncy, musical language that invites joining in
• A relatable little hero who looks like them and lives like them
• Whimsical watercolour illustrations on every page
• Stories short enough to finish - long enough to matter

Perfect for ages 0-5. Ideal for bedtime, naptime, or any time a small person needs to power down gracefully.
