Introduction

The book you are about to read summarizes the experience we have gained in working with toddlers, preschool and elementary school-aged children, and also draws on an experiment conducted with adults about using fantastic or analogical languages to understand one's inner journey. , to convey emotions and to develop one's creativity.

In this volume we have looked at the fable as an expressive language that helps children grow and improve their ability to talk about their own inner experiences. From a purely technical point of view, you will find in it material based on the tradition of the fairy tale, with its imaginary worlds, its multiple events and characters in which magic, conflict, wonder and passion merge.

The less discriminatory use of the term fable or fairy tale is more akin to lexical vulgarization, though the word vulgarization is intended not so much to take on a derogative tone as to acknowledge that fable and fairy tale are equivalent in common usage today.

Since our work is aimed at an audience of parents and children, it seemed right to retain this ambiguity and to use either term to refer to any fantastic tale. It is precisely this definition that we are happy to embrace and respect, because it is precisely the imaginary, the fantastic, that is the key element we will use to listen to children's inner world and teach them to tell about themselves.

The reader who picks up this book must be prepared to rediscover fragments of his own childhood, perhaps a little dormant, but always ready to be revived by the attention given to the language of the imagination.

By reading old but still current stories, he can above all shake himself, reliving events and adventures that can still thrill. The parents who want to use the tool of storytelling must first reconstruct this connection with their own childhood.

Over the years, I have led several training groups where working with fairy tales has been of great benefit to parents and children. Through storytelling, intense emotions emerged, old and new experiences that were very involving, new awareness, reflections on one's own way of being and one's own style of relating. The fairy tale can especially make adults who come close to them grow up.

I recommend you to fully enjoy the fairy tale literature that we have: the work of Kids Club is fundamental, which gathers a collection of short stories like those of Aesop, typical of the fairy tale, but also the classic collections of Perrault and the Brothers Grimm.

Rereading fairy tales in adulthood is a literary experience of great importance that can lead us to discover the inner wisdom of messages that we internalized more immediately and spontaneously in childhood.

The first important effect of reading fairy tales is the fact that we spend time with children using their channel of communication, imagination, as well as the fact that we dedicate time to them. So use the fairy tale first and foremost to be with the child or children.

Allow yourself a slow and long time to read (or listen, if you are listening to an audiobook), without haste. A time to observe yourself and the baby. It will be a time of human growth from which you both, adult and child, you will emerge more capable of observing, understanding and acting on yourself and the world outside.

With this wish I give you these pages with reflections on the valuable work that can be done with the instrument of the fairy tale.

In this collection of bedtime stories, your child will meet different friends in fun and different adventures! Your child will listen until they embark on a magical journey to a peaceful and natural sleep. Each story has a moral, and your child will calm down while relieving stress and learning valuable life lessons.

The first years of life are the best opportunity to help your child grow into a wise and gentle adult. Through encouraging stories, they can learn how to improve their self-esteem and confidence. They will understand how to manage their emotions and communicate them effectively.

All of this will be shared with you as you laugh and experience incredible moments together.

P.S. This version of bedtime stories for kids includes something special. All the illustrations you will find have been created by an artificial intelligence...

..I promise, this magic A.i. will make your reading a truly unique experience!

I wish you a good reading (or a good listening), your best fan...

Chapter 1

Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp

image-placeholder

THERE once lived a poor tailor who had a son called Aladdin, a careless, idle boy who would do nothing but play all day long in the streets with little idle boys like himself. This so grieved the father that he died; yet, in spite of his mother’s tears and prayers, Aladdin did not mend his ways. One day, when he was playing in the streets as usual, a stranger asked him his age, and if he was not the son of Mustapha the tailor.

I am, sir, replied Aladdin; but he died a long while ago. On this the stranger, who was a famous African magician, fell on his neck and kissed him, saying: I am your uncle, and knew you from your likeness to my brother. Go to your mother and tell her I am coming. Aladdin ran home and told his mother of his newly found uncle. Indeed, child, she said, your father had a brother, but I always thought he was dead.

However, she prepared supper, and bade Aladdin seek his uncle, who came laden with wine and fruit. He presently fell down and kissed the place where Mustapha used to sit, bidding Aladdin’s mother not to be surprised at not having seen him before, as he had been forty years out of the country. He then turned to Aladdin, and asked him his trade, at which the boy hung his head, while his mother burst into tears. On learning that Aladdin was idle and would learn no trade, he offered to take a shop for him and stock it with merchandise. Next day he bought Aladdin a fine suit of clothes and took him all over the city, showing him the sights, and brought him home at nightfall to his mother, who was overjoyed to see her son so fine.

Next day the magician led Aladdin into some beautiful gardens a long way outside the city gates. They sat down by a fountain, and the magician pulled a cake from his girdle which he divided between them. They then journeyed onward till they almost reached the mountains. Aladdin was so tired that he begged to go back, but the magician beguiled him with pleasant stories, and led him on in spite of himself. At last they came to two mountains divided by a narrow valley. We will go no farther, said the false uncle. I will show you something wonderful; only do you gather up sticks while I kindle a fire.

When it was lit the magician threw on it a powder he had about him, at the same time saying some magical words. The earth trembled a little and opened in front of them, disclosing a square flat stone with a brass ring in the middle to raise it by. Aladdin tried to run away, but the magician caught him and gave him a blow that knocked him down. What have I done, uncle? he said, piteously; whereupon the magician said more kindly: "Fear nothing, but obey me.

Beneath this stone lies a treasure which is to be yours, and no one else may touch it, so you must do exactly as I tell you. At the word treasure" Aladdin forgot his fears, and grasped the ring as
