We all love a good story. But did you know, where children's development is concerned, bedtime stories are more than just good fun or a comforting pre-sleep routine? Dr Nicola Dawson and Dr Emma James explain the important role that stories play in children's language development, and how the sleep that follows might make a difference too. With special thanks to The Story Museum, Oxford: storymuseum.org.uk

Script & filming: Dr Fiona Suttle

Subtítulos en español: Miriam Hellín Martínez, Lara Fernández Fernández y David Martín González. Con la supervisión de Laura González Fernández (Facultad de Traducción y Documentación, Universidad de Salamanca, España).
