Interactive Bedtime Stories

Once in a while I make up a bedtime story for Pete instead of reading an ordinary story. When there’s time, we do it “Choose Your Own Adventure” style, so Pete gets to determine the course of the story. The characters in the story are usually two young boys, with names like Jete and Yam or Geet and Spam.

Here are some examples of choices Pete would have in the story. See if you can decide which one Pete would choose in each example:

Jete’s mom calls him in to the house for lunch. If he puts his bike away in the garage, turn to page 35. If he leaves it out where Yam might try to ride it, turn to page 40.

If Yam puts the vegetables onto his plate, go to page 52. If he puts them into the blender, go to page 57.

If Geet sits to wait for someone to bring a key, go to page 80. If he tries to use Spam’s head as a battering ram, go to page 86.
