Bedtime Stories-Vedant Parashar
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” Albert Einstein–Theoretical physicist, A Nobel Prize laureate.
It is indeed such a pleasure introducing ‘Bedtime Stories’ to the very young niche of readership, an enrapturing ensemble of short stories by an author as young as six years old. I was as amazed as you would be to know that this is his second-in-line book of ‘Bedtime Stories’; the first was published at the age of five.
A fact that further separates this book from scores of other children’s books is its sheer authenticity. It is narrated by someone from the same age group as its readers.
Vedant, for us, maybe a ‘Wunderkind’ or a Child Prodigy with intense creativity and awe-inspiring talents, but still a child. Rightly so, each story brims with a child’s innocence and fancy. They portray his perception of the world as he sees it.
The stories interestingly use precise words and sounds of animals and try to derive a moral value from each read.
Although the narrative has used the ‘dictate’ feature to convert recorded speech into text, the utmost care has been taken to conform to the standards of written English.
Primarily meant for children his age, perchance a few years older. I am confident they will enthral anyone who reads them.
Dear readers, here’s for you, A book by a kid for kids!
