Goodreads Synopsis:
In this engaging, laugh-out-loud funny picture book, a child's bed tells it like it is.
Bed has something to say.Bed knows you do not like bedtime.And Bed gets it. But look ...YOU are not so great, either ...
Bed is fed up. Bed's patience is wearing thin. For years, Bed has put up with the kicking at night, the jumping during the day, not to mention the storing of all manner of stinky items. But enough is enough. Now it's time to consider Bed's feelings ...
In a story that's never been told before, Monica Arnaldo's hilarious picture book explores the point of view of an unusual narrator: a child's bed. Irreverent and full of personality, Arnaldo's Bed is also full of love and compassion, making for a relatable and, ultimately, endearing story. This playful and highly original book offers a lighthearted way to approach discussions on communication, perspective and viewpoint. It can be used to promote critical thinking in young children and an understanding that there are at least two sides to every story. It also contains character education lessons on compassion, respect and empathy.
Review:
This book is adorably cute and I loved it. It really is a laugh-out-loud book which every family should own. Bed's story is just that a bedtime told from the point of view of the bed, and Bed has had enough, there is too much kicking and bouncing and stickers, really stickers?! It was a great portrayal of what a children's bed experiences. I loved the overall plot.
The illustrations throughout also fit the overall theme really well and are bright and detailed and go along great with each text spread. The book has a picture book feel but there is text throughout.
The tale and illustrations don't really have a lesson but it might make kids think more about how they treat their bed if they personify it in the way this book does. I highly recommend this fun and funny read.
