Really helps on non-sleepy nights

Really helps on my son's non-sleepy nights. Enjoys entire series of these stories. The end.

This is a very strong hypnotic script

I was expecting a very light induction like his first book but this one put me full under hypnosis. I have tried many hypnotic recordings and only one other has better effects than this one and that one was 30 dollars from an NLP master.

My only complaint is that sometimes the volume changes in the story would bring me back up to full awareness and a warning for parents this book may be too complicated for very little kids it raised many questions in my cousin when I tried it with him. I think an added kids introduction that explains that the story is like a silly dream that takes place in a world where things work differently than in our world and that for the magic of the story to work the kid needs to want it to and just relax and listen would help

Parents beware if u have plans

So good!! do not lie down with your little ones to listen if u have plans that night lol, fell asleep with them!!!

Great story

2 chapters put my child to sleep My kid thought That the girl voice was better To fall asleep because she had more voices

Works like a charm!

This really helps my kids (and myself!) relax. I gave performance a low score because once it's over, and you're relaxed or asleep, a loud voice says we hope you enjoyed this.... and it wakes you up!
