Harvey Chernosky began telling bedtime stories in the early 1970s with the idea of teaching his children lessons in life. His story of “The Rabbit and the Road” cautioned his son and daughter to avoid the busy road upon which they lived. It was only when his grandchildren began begging for bedtime stories that he expanded his repertoire to include tales about stuffed animals and eating candy. He continues to relate mini-adventures which delight the girls and delay the inevitable, “now go to sleep.”

“Daddy Tell Me a Story,”a compilation of delightful adventures, entertains, amuses, and teaches children to be careful, kind, and respectful of others.The stories center around two girls, who when separated during summer vacation, discover that they are really best friends. The girls work together in “The Little Man Revisited” when they help a child on the playground.The story of “The Girl Nobody Played With,” illustrates that all children have something to offer and if you take the time to know them, you will make a very good friend. Other stories stir the imagination and lead to obvious conclusions. Children may think they’ve outsmarted their parents, but in reality, they have not.
