GoodNites Brand Invites Families to Build a Better Bedtime with Bedtime Theater Audio Series

NEENAH, Wis., Feb. 16, 2010 - To help ensure that the last few precious minutes of every day is a chance for parents and children to deepen their bond, Kimberly-Clark's GoodNites® brand has launched Bedtime Theater&#8482, a series of 20 five-minute audio bedtime stories that will fill each night with a new, fantastical adventure. Bedtime Theater follows the story of a boy named Iggy as he embarks on wild adventures with his Wiggy Bed, building self-confidence along the way. The audio series is available for free download on www.BedtimeTheater.com and in specially marked packages of GoodNites Sleep Pants.

Bedtime Theater helps parents and children build a better bedtime and lets the magic of storytelling inspire the night. Now through April 15, 2010, families and storytellers are encouraged to visit BedtimeTheater.com to enter the Iggy's Next Adventure contest by creating and sharing their own adventure for Iggy. Ten finalists will be selected and America's vote will determine the winning story which will become a special audio installment. The winning story will be recorded by the characters in Iggy's story and available for download on BedtimeTheater.com. GoodNites brand will reward the 10 finalists with an MP3 player and a set of speakers, and the grand prize winner will receive $2,500.

"Bedtime is an important time for parents and children to connect," says Dr. Jennifer Trachtenberg, nationally renowned pediatrician, author and mom of three, "and I often recommend to families that having a regular evening ritual, such as a bedtime story, can quell nighttime issues like bedwetting and become an important step in building your child's self-confidence."
