Is the Russian natural, or translated?
Each story is written directly in Russian, not translated from English. Natural, correct Russian, warm and simple.
What's the second language for?
Kids raised abroad often understand the family language but think in their school language. The same story in English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish or Italian lets them switch when they get stuck.
How much is it?
The first story is free. Then the Bedtime Club is $9.99 a month or $79 a year for 4 new stories a month.
Is it safe?
First name only, no photos. Every request is screened before anything is made, and every story is gentle, with a calm bedtime ending.
