The Best Bed for Me

Description

From the creator of Jabari Jumps and Jabari Tries, the tale of a stalling child with a lively imagination – and a passion for animal facts – makes for the best kind of bedtime story.

Mama would like Sweet Pea to settle into bed, but it’s not quite time. Even though the bed is fluffy, it’s not as snuggly as curling up like a pig in the mud, or as spacious as sleeping in the wide ocean like a blue whale. It’s not as fun as sleeping high up in a tree like a koala, or hanging upside down like a bat. And it’s definitely not as relaxing as sleeping standing up, like an emperor penguin.

But after mimicking all the ways different animals rest, this little one concedes that a comfy bed, a soft pillow, and a good-night wish offer the best way to fall asleep after all. Gaia Cornwall brings us a loving, humorous story for even the most energetic of bedtime listeners.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

The Best Bed for Me by Gaia Cornwall receives praise for its charming and inclusive presentation, notably depicting the tender process of coaxing a child to sleep. The book's illustrations, with a minimalist and muted palette, accompany the narrative beautifully, adding a soothing effect. Notably, it features diverse representation, including same-sex couples and mixed-race families, with an ungendered child protagonist engaging in bedtime adventures with various animal pals. This endearing bedtime story resonates with both playful and gentle tones.
