from Mr Morton's Barmy Book of Bonkers Bits: Funny Bedtime Stories for Kids · host Shaun Morton VO

The Boy Who Sneezed Through Time: a funny kids storytelling podcast about hayfever, headteachers, and accidental time travelMilo Crumb hates spring. While everyone else goes misty-eyed about fresh air and new beginnings, Milo goes misty-eyed for a completely different reason. Spring puts yellow dust on everything. Spring makes his nose feel as if someone has tickled it from the inside with a feather dipped in pepper. And this spring is the worst yet.The problem is Mr Grindle. The headteacher has one rule above all others. More important than no running. More important than no chewing gum. More important than the mysterious and never-explained ban on satsumas. No noise in the corridors. And Milo is standing right beside him with a sneeze that has been gathering itself all morning and has now decided it is in charge.What happens next takes Milo somewhere he absolutely did not expect to go. Several somewheres, in fact. Each one stranger than the last. Each one containing a version of Mr Grindle that is somehow both familiar and deeply wrong. This funny bedtime story for kids is perfect for audio stories for children who love time travel, ridiculous authority figures, and the deeply satisfying idea that a sneeze might be the most powerful force in the universe. Children will love the chaotic leaps through time. Parents will recognise the particular dread of trying very hard not to make a noise at exactly the wrong moment. Everyone will enjoy the ending, which arrives with the help of a new headteacher, a jar of menthols, and a school that finally learns to breathe.Episode length: approximately 15 minutesAges: 4 to 400Best enjoyed: bedtime, car journeys, hayfever seasonPress play. Join Milo and his catastrophic hayfever in a kids storytelling podcast that is funny, surprising, and unexpectedly moving for a story about sneezing.More stories at MrMortonsBarmyBook.com.
