"Go to bed."

"No."

"I said BED."

"I said NO!"

Mom eventually wins this argument, but even after her son is all tucked in, his opinion hasn't changed. "Bed is boring," he whispers to his teddy bear. Teddy, however disagrees. "This bed is GOOD," he says. "This bed can GO." Indeed, with a few alterations, the bed is suddenly mobile--and boy and bear are journeying down the road, to outer space, where the boy concludes that this is one bed that's worth fighting for! A perfect story for early readers--some of whom may still be waging bedtime battles of their own.
Bruce Degen is the best-selling author and illustrator of numerous award-winning books for children, including The Magic School Bus series by Joanna Cole. He lives in Connecticut.
"Everything about this book is solid, from its picture-book size to its seamless melding of story and art. It raises the bar on what a beginning reader can be and will inspire any child to enjoy reading."—School Library Journal
 
"Simple speech bubbles drive this imaginative early reader. . . . Degen's scratched colored-pencil illustrations have an old-school feel."—The Horn Book
