Sleepover Surprise (Shushybye) - Tapa dura

Shushybye inspires children to look forward to night time—and gives parents a helping hand in preparing their children for bed. Shushybye is the land way above the clouds where dreams are made. Living in Shushybye villages such as Nap Valley and Snore Shore, the Shushies (led by Snoozles, Dozie, and Zeez) make dreams for children then place them in Shushybye Dream Boxes, which are sent to sleeping children via the Shushybye Train driven by Conductor McCloud. In order to get their dreams each night, children have to go to sleep on time for the arrival of the Shushybye Train!

Steve Syatt founded the SSA Public Relations firm which was responsible for launching children’s brand successes such as Berenstein Bears: The Animated Series, Pokemon, and Bob the Builder to name just a few. Fifteen years ago he began writing bedtime stories and songs about the "Shushies," who live in "Shushyland" and make the dreams kids dream at night. His son and daughter were both the inspiration and testing ground for his ideas.
