Car bedtime stories
Marnie makes a soft bed for Rumble, but her red toy car keeps rolling away. Sunny and Merritt turn a sensible car wash into a contest of balconies and chimneys. Tavi and Orla are almost at the finish line when Jo loses a wheel. Choose a car that needs a flat place to sleep, a foamy FLOOMP, or a race worth stopping for.

Marnie’s nine-page toy-car story suits read-aloud time around four. Her pillow, blanket and quilt make slopes; a flat patch beside her bed finally keeps Rumble still while she falls asleep. Sunny and Merritt’s five-page car-wash joke suits listeners around six and seven. Their castles slide away in a FLOOMP, and the pair roll out wearing bubble moustaches. Tavi and Orla’s ten-page race story suits listeners around six through eight, especially seven. They keep their promise to race without powers, retrieve a wheel and nut, and fix Jo’s car while the striped car wins the trophy. The last lap belongs to all three. Marnie’s bedroom story closes with sleep; the car wash and soapbox race finish with laughter and motion.
