My New Big-Kid Bed

Illustrated by Taia Morley
Having trouble getting your child to sleep in their own bed? Families will relate to this bedtime romp about a boy with that very problem!


What could be more exciting than graduating to a big bed? This big boy cannot wait to go to sleep in his new dinosaur bed. But when darkness falls . . . what’s that? A huge shadow sends the boy running from bedroom to bedroom to try to sleep anywhere but his own bed! This bouncy, hilarious rhyming story introduces a Goldilocks-like dilemma as our young friend tries to find a place to sleep that’s “just right”—which turns out, in the end, to be his very own bed! Whether your child is adjusting to a new big-kid bed or doesn’t feel quite ready to get one, this winning tale will help smooth the way.
