Dog bedtime stories
Doodle has a birthday parcel to open with Grandma and a welcome song to practise while he waits. Nell’s grand welcome sends Pip into hiding; sitting still gives him room to come closer. In the garden, Nell and Pip try a quiet game that ends with a very proud bark. Choose a long woof, a small welcome, or one leaf worth listening for.

Doodle’s five-page birthday story suits a listener around four. Grandma arrives for his welcome song, and his tail keeps bumping while they open a book together. Nell and Pip’s two stories suit read-aloud time with four- to seven-year-olds. Their welcome story closes with the puppy asleep against her shoe. Their garden game has sneezes, a shared moment of quiet, and a loud bark at the end. Choose the small welcome for a quieter finish, or the other two when another laugh fits tonight.
