Hi guys, I am looking for a book that my mom read it to me in the 1990s it was a compilation of short stories. The premise was that the mother of two kids was telling them bedtime stories. She would do so by picking randomly out of a small sack different characters that were figurines. One of the stories was about a cat burglar who was actually a cat that was stealing vegetables out of the garden. Another one was about a witch who had locked a girl in a tower. Those are the only two stories that I remember however I think there might have been one more. I cannot for the life of me remember the name and Google is turning up nothing. Desperately wanting to get it for my nephew any help is much appreciated!

This one took a while... I was running out of word combinations to search for! The winning combination (I hope!) was "cat burglar" "witch" "book" "children" "tower".I found one that sounds promising though:
Rabbit and Teddy Tales by Rose Impey. Published in 1993.
Reader description:
Rabbit and Teddy Tales, by Impey and Porter were my all time favourite bedtime books. The adventures are created from the ‘story bag’ where mummy or grandma find a range of characters.
The first is about rabbit who is happily dreaming of eating lettuce, turnips and carrots until cat came along, dressed up as a cat burglar and stole rabbits dream! When he tracks down cat she is very upset because the dream is making her poorly, so gives rabbit his dream back.
The second is about teddy, he wants to be a prince so dresses up, unfortunately witch needs a handsome prince for her potion and kidnaps teddy! Its then upto doll to free teddy from the witches’ tower and with help from a not so scary monster they flee the castle and return to their home in the woods.
The stories are aimed at younger children, but with the scope to choose the characters’ involved in the story, I think it would be a good chance for children to think of their own characters’ or use their own teddies’ and toys and think of adventures.
I hope this is it!
