Tonight we take a break from Pinocchio to dip into the beginnings of a creepy classic...perfect for falling asleep...The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. (Families: it's not too creepy at all plus it's older English) As always, our story is accompanied by beautiful peaceful music and the sounds of evening to help us fall asleep.

Snow White is all the rage right now, so I decided to take a break from our full reading of Pinocchio to share the original Little Snow White (1812) with you. As usual, the story IS different from what we're used to. Enjoy.
