My son is 2 and 1/2 and our bedtime routine for the last few months went as follows: warm bath, 3-5 books; and then we'd lay there with him crying, trying to get out of bed for about 30-45 minutes until he finally gave up and drifted off. Now, we have a warm bath, 3-5 books and then this wonderful tape. He is usually asleep by the end of one of the segments (10 minutes!). He doesn't cry or fight sleep at all...he just relaxes and lets himself go to sleep. I love it! He loves it! A great sleep aid!

I bought this delightful tape because my almost-six-year old had a lot of trouble calming down before bed. We both listened to it last night--my daughter was sound asleep before the end of the second visualization! I loved it, too. There couldn't be a sweeter way to enter dreamland than listening to Jim Weiss' soothing voice describe such charming settings. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

I ordered this tape in an attempt to have something different to listen to with my son each night at bedtime. We had been listening to Weiss' other tape (Good Night) for about a year, and I had the stories memorized and needed a break! This tape delivers another strong performance by Weiss as he tells easily imaginable 10-minute tales that lull you to sleep. There are three 10-minute stories on each side with nice and quiet music between stories so you can stop tape at the end of a story if you wish. I don't like this one as well as Good Night because "The Toy Shoppe" story involves another person and doesn't seem to capture the spirit of the other Weiss stories. It's still a wonderful tape, and we do listen to it almost as often as the first. It's hard to match a well-loved favorite, and this almost does it. WARNING: My husband and I have fallen asleep countless times listening to these tapes with our son. We always awaken to the abrupt click of the tape player shutting off! Enjoy this tape...and sweet dreams!
