Roys Bedoys (pronounced "Roys Buh-DOYCE") is a series of children's books by Christine and Eric Ha. The series centers around a young boy named Roys Bedoys, who is about kindergarten age. In most stories, he does something wrong one or more times, only to eventually learn better (usually accompanied by the phrase "Roys Bedoys, make a smart choice"), resulting in An Aesop. Recurring characters include Roys's friends Maker (a somewhat intellectual boy with glasses), Wen (a redheaded girl who's sometimes stated to be poor), Truly (an active girl), and Flora (a demure girl who was introduced later in the series), his parents, and his younger brother Loys.
- An Aesop: Happens in almost every episode. It is mostly learned by Roys Bedoys.
- Aesop Amnesia: Sometimes, Roys Bedoys can forget the messages he was told.
- Big No: Roys Bedoys often says "No!" when he doesn't get what he wants.
- Toilet Humour: In "Don't Be Greedy, Roys Bedoys", Roys Bedoys said he has diarrhea and ate too much cookies.
- Very Special Episode: "Stay at Home, Roys Bedoys!", "Distance Learning Has Rules, Roys Bedoys!", and "Distance Learning is Not Always Fun, Roys Bedoys!" were written in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and involve the characters having to stay at home.
- You Are Grounded:
- In the aptly-named "You're Grounded, Roys Bedoys!", Mrs. Bedoys grounds Roys for stealing an eraser.
- In "Don't Watch Grown-Up Movies, Roys Bedoys!", Maker's mother grounds him for watching a "grown-up movie".
- At the end of "Where Are You, Roys Bedoys?", Mr. Bedoys grounds Roys for not asking permission to go to Maker's house.
