Why Choose Storybook Crate?

• We are a parent-owned and operated company, and we believe that the quality of the process and the quality of the product directly translate to the quality of children’s and parent’s experiences.
• Every word in every book, all printed materials, our website, and all marketing was written by genuine intelligence. We support real artists who make real art.
• Each book is written in rhyme to help create a pleasant bedtime rhythm, and they are just simple adventure stories to keep little listener’s attention. Also, “hard words” have been proven to induce a natural sleepiness in readers, so we have just enough of those sprinkled in. You can see sample pages from several of the books here.
• Each book is between 40-50 pages long, which might sound big for a bedtime book, but the quantity of text contained in those pages is just a few minutes of reading, and at the end of each story is a re-enforcement of the bedtime steps your child received in their Operation Bedtime manual.
• Every piece of art in every book and on every crate and in all printed and digital material was created by genuine intelligence.
• Children love the illustrations of the books and love having them as stickers for their Bedtime Board of Amazingness.
• And not that you wanted to learn about book production, but all books are printed on 80# paper (regular copy paper is 20#, in comparison) to provide durability without breaking your wrists while holding it in bed, which a 40+ page toddler cardboard book would certainly do.
• Each book’s page finish is matte to minimize lamp glare, because who wants to deal with that while reading? The text is also designed to properly contrast against the background illustrations, because we have too often encountered unreadable text in other books, especially in the low light of a sleepytime environment.
• Each book his smyth-sewn bound, which you don’t need to know anything about except that it is the most durable and highest quality of commercial book binding. We want our books to be in our readers’ bookshelves for years, and the gift that keeps giving, generation after generation.
• All books and printed and digital materials were written, drawn, designed, typeset, printed, and packaged in the United States to involve and support our local communities and companies.
