Meet Fergus the Highland Cow

Bedtime Is Hard. We Get It.

(But we believe it can also be magical.)

Let’s be honest: bedtime at your house probably doesn’t look like the movies.
It’s not always soft lullabies and warm mugs of milk.

Most nights, it’s probably more like:

• "Where's your pajama top?"

• "No, you already had water."

• "Put the toy down and get in bed!"

We know that most parents, especially moms, want to get their little ones in bed so they can finally have a moment to themselves.

We see you. We are you.

You’re tired.
Your kids are wiggly.
And storytime? Sometimes it’s the first thing to go when everyone’s running on empty.

But here’s the thing:

We believe bedtime doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.

What If Bedtime Wasn’t Just About Getting Kids to Sleep?

What if bedtime became a moment of meaningful connection instead of a battle of wills?

What if—just for five or ten minutes—you had:

• Snuggles that remind you of what's most important

• Giggles that made you laugh, too

• A spark of imagination that got your kids talking

• A silly character who gave you something to bond over

• Time together that plants peace and joy in little hearts as they drift off to sleep?

That’s where Fergus comes in.

Meet Fergus: The Highland Cow With a Big Imagination

Fergus is not your average farm animal.

He dreams big, tries hard, and usually ends up in some sort of hilarious mess (it’s not entirely his fault).

Whether he’s trying to trying to drive a tractor, pretending to be a chicken, or chasing after Farmer McTavish's underwear, Fergus brings warmth, laughter, and a whole lot of moo-ing to every story.

Fergus is a character that is near and dear to our hearts and we know your little ones (and you) will love him as well.

Fergus the Highland Cow Moo-velous Bedtime Stories is a collection of silly tales from the McTavish Farm in Scotland.

Filled with heartwarming farm fun, lighthearted giggles, and just the right amount of moo-gic, Moo-velous Bedtime Stories is the perfect read-aloud book for winding down at the end of a busy day. Each short story is the ideal length for one quick cuddle session—or a few “one more stories” before lights out.

It's written to be read aloud by parents, with just a few illustrations with each story. We believe your little ones will enjoy closing their eyes, listening to your voice, imagining the story, and maybe... drifting off to sleep.

Every story includes Fun Facts from Fergus and Bedtime Thoughts to create bonding and connection. There are also plenty of extra activities in the back of the book for daytime fun.

The Fergus Adventure Email Series

Bedtime shouldn't be the only magical experience for children. Do you remember the magic of getting mail?

The anticipation? The excitement? The joy?

We want to bring a wee bit of magic back to your mailbox (digital or physical) as well.

The Fergus Adventure is a six week email series of letters to your child, from Fergus himself. Delivered as weekly emails, each comes with a printable PDF of the letter which can be printed and put in the mailbox for a more personal touch. We know there are some parents who need as little work as possible, and some who love to go all out with every experience. You get to choose your level of commitment.
