Breathe Easy On the Sleep Railroad: A Story for Kids

Author: Rhea Pechter March 28, 2026 Duration: 36:32
Usually, Lambden sailed through the winter months with nary a sniffle. And it seemed he would do so again, but just as the doldrums of winter gave way to the blossoms of spring, he developed a sore throat, a fever, and extreme exhaustion. He was undeniably ill, which meant there was no way he could board the Sleep Train. How will Lambden ever get through the long, dark night? You'll have to listen to find out.
