The Adventures of Dreamieland is a fantastical

as they go on their dreams to imaginary lands. The adorable
Dreamies and the naughty Guzzlers are the unique and colourful
characters that inhabit Dreamieland. The Dreamies care for
children whilst they are asleep, taking them on happy fun-packed
dream adventures. The Guzzlers are a family of naughty,
impish characters who try to stop the Dreamies from caring
for sleeping children. These mischievous characters cause
all sorts of problems that kids and Dreamies help to resolve!
|

fantasy characters, visit magical places and experience new
things in a loving, secure but fantastical environment. Personalised
details can be changed enabling readers to be accompanied
by different friends or Dreamies on different stories. All
of the stories are approximately 1500 words long (about five
pages of A4) and illustrated with brightly coloured Dreamieland
drawings, ideal for bedtime reading to a younger child or
being read by an older child. A free story can be downloaded
from www.nightnight.co.uk, to give a taster as to the format
of the stories. |
| "We developed The Adventures of Dreamieland
to promote the emotional and social development of young children,
tackling common fears or worries," explained Miranda
Rijks, creator of Dreamieland. "When my child was little,
I realised that children need positive bed-time stories and
toys that can help them through their dreams and enable them
to understand what is real and what is imagined. Nights are
when children become independent of their parents and often
a time when unconscious fears materialise. We have developed
the Dreamieland stories and the merchandise to assist in the
bedtime routine, promote reading and peaceful, happy sleep." |
A full range of Dreamieland merchandise is available
to buy from www.dreamieland.com
or www.nightnight.co.uk
. This includes soft toys, dressing gowns, pyjamas, t-shirts,
blankets and a fun range of stationery. Story subscriptions
can be combined with toys and other Dreamieland products to
make ideal Birthday and Christmas gifts for children.
|
| It is not just parents who like Dreamieland.
Children love the characters. 130,000 children visited The
Adventures of Dreamieland ride when it was based in Manchester.
Whilst they can not visit the characters in person at the
moment, children can now bring the characters into their homes

| The website www.nightnight.co.uk
