For grown-ups
- Your child joins in
- Prishi asks for help at every clue, then waits. Expect shouting, sniffing and counting from the back seat.
- Nobody is a baddie
- Every mystery ends in a gentle surprise: a lonely rainbow, a lost duckling, a lion cub with a small roar.
- One true thing in every story
- The Moon is always round. A cat keeps her claws tucked in. A tube makes a small sound big. All of it can be checked the next morning.
- Short and screen-free
- Six or seven minutes each. Made for bedtime, car journeys and rainy afternoons.
Who makes these
Torch and Trail Stories is made by a toddler's dad who loves telling stories. It all began with one little girl who asks a lot of questions.
The stories are short, gentle mysteries for children aged three to six, where nobody is a baddie and the listener always gets to help.
And Then What?
Captain Oops tells wonderful stories, but he keeps forgetting the important bits. Your child has to fill them in, out loud.
