"Storytime" is the lead single from Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish's seventh studio album, Imaginaerum.

[11][12] Composer and lyricist of the song, Tuomas Holopainen has said that "Storytime" is inspired by the 1982 movie The Snowman, the theme of which was previously covered by Nightwish for their Oceanborn album.

The idea for the music of "Storytime" was born when Holopainen wondered why no-one had made a remake of the film, and pondered on what his version of the score to the scene in which "Walking in the Air" plays would sound like.

The cover features a book with the emblem from the song "The Crow, the Owl and the Dove" and the text "Storytime" on the side.

The book stand beside the roller coaster seen on the Imaginaerum cover, and the background has a winter theme to reflect the lyrical content.
