The Wafer Bones: a funny kids storytelling podcast about biscuit skeletons and snack crimes

Bea Hart has a system. She eats the chocolate off KitKats and discards the wafer inside. Not in the bin. Not on a plate. She drops the naked wafer fingers wherever she happens to be. Behind the sofa. Under the coffee table. Once, disastrously, into a shoe.

Her brother Max, who takes biscuits very seriously, is horrified. The wafer is the whole point, he says. But Bea disagrees. The wafer tastes like chewing a very thin bit of ceiling.

Then one night, after Bea eats the last KitKat in the house without asking, she hears a sound from the hallway. Crunch. Click. Click-click. Something is being assembled. One piece at a time. Slowly. Carefully. At the top of the stairs stands a small skeleton made entirely of wafer bones. Her wafer bones. It lifts one arm and points straight at her.

This funny bedtime story for kids is perfect for audio stories for children who love a bit of gentle spookiness, sibling rivalry, and the particular horror of biscuit crimes coming back to haunt you. Children will love the creepy wafer skeleton and the twist about Max’s involvement. Parents will recognize the passionate biscuit debates that happen in every household. Everyone will grin at the ending that suggests maybe Max was not working alone.
