The \u003ci\u003eBedside Story Collection Series\u003c\/i\u003e was written to provide families a moment here and a moment there to come together and share heart warming, silly and believably unbelievable tales. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories are tied typically to the main holiday or theme of each month, more or less. The characters in the stories are based on what children relate to the most... animals and other children. There are also over 100 colored drawings sketched by children ranging from 7 months to 12 years of age. The stories from Mr. Galluzzi's imagination and the drawings from theirs come together to stimulate the imaginations of children and open a whole new world for parents and their children to share. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is his gift to your family. Time for sharing... time for laughing... time for talking... time for each other. Not once upon a time, but Twelve Upon A Time....\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CCB Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039559598320,"sku":"9781927360392","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781927360392_p0.jpg?v=1763636324","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781927360392","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
