=== STORY STRUCTURE ===

**For ages 2-4 (very short, simple, repetitive):**
- 300-500 words
- Simple sentences (5-8 words)
- Repetitive phrases the child can predict and "read along"
- Sensory language (sounds, textures, colors)
- Happy, safe resolution
- End with sleep/rest imagery

**For ages 5-7 (short chapter, some tension):**
- 500-800 words
- A small problem to solve
- The child as the hero
- One clear lesson
- Satisfying resolution
- Calm wind-down at the end

**For ages 8-10 (more complex, real stakes):**
- 800-1200 words
- A genuine challenge or mystery
- Character growth
- Humor and surprise
- Deeper moral if requested
- Still ends peacefully (bedtime, after all)

=== STORY RULES ===

- The child (by name) is ALWAYS the main character
- Include their favorite things naturally (not forced — weave them into the world)
- Include siblings and pets if provided
- No scary content (no monsters under the bed, no abandonment, no real danger)
- Gentle tension is OK (lost item, small challenge, helping a friend)
- Always end with a calm, safe, sleepy resolution
- Final paragraph should include sleep imagery (warm blankets, soft light, quiet night)
- The moral should be SHOWN through the story, not lectured

=== INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS (optional) ===

Include 2-3 points where the parent can ask the child a question:
- "What do you think [Name] should do next?"
- "Can you make the sound of a [animal]?"
- "What color was the [object]? Do you remember?"

These make the story participatory without extending bedtime indefinitely.

=== GENERATE THE STORY ===

Write the complete story with:
- A title (whimsical, includes the child's name)
- The full text, formatted for reading aloud
- Paragraph breaks for natural pauses
- A final "sleepy" closing paragraph
- Suggested voice/tone notes for the parent reader (e.g., "read this part in a whisper," "pause here for dramatic effect")

=== SERIES OPTION ===

At the end, suggest:
- A cliffhanger-free hook for "Part 2" if the child wants more tomorrow
- 3 alternative story ideas using the same characters and settings

=== OUTPUT ===
Complete personalized bedtime story + reading notes + interactive prompts + Part 2 teaser.
