The Bell Spell [The Bell Spell & Other Me, You, And...Lullabies & Sleep Stories]

 
Bicycle bell, I'll weave you a spell!

Or rather...

Noddy's bell, I'll weave you a spell!

In this lullaby from the Me, You, And...lullaby book 'The Bell Spell', Elimu attempts to get her restless family to sleep with Noddy's help by performing a spell on the bell at the end of his hat. Tonight's Hushabye Lullabye is all about Winter, so my response is a warm sleep spell concerning a hat bell and a little nodding man that once was on the BBC before Hushabye Lullabye, bringing Sly's bell spell from Well Done Noddy back for a new generation of sleepy children.

Winter Curi Place

I've already thought of a spinoff of Puri Curi Place, set in a winter wonderland called Kap'Carn'Vu, in a magical, snowy village called Winter Curi Place, home of cute, enchanting beings called Winter Curis, who are kind of like Puri Curis (the creatures who live in Puri Curi Place) but snow-themed and coloured icy blue and white. The stories in the book follow the adventures of a polar bear-like Winter Curi, Yuki, and his best friend, the Arctic fox-like Winter Curi named Kori, and their royal friend from the Snow Castle and guardian of the ancient Ice Crystals, the cat-like Princess Kirameku, on adventures that bring the magic and glitter of Winter to the world, and adventurous warmth into their hearts.
