Leo reviews: Time for Bed's Story Written and Illustrated by Monica Arnaldo
Time for Bed’s Story Written and Illustrated by Monica Arnaldo
“Hello. Bed here. Yes, Bed. Bed has something to say.”
Bed knows you are not crazy about going to sleep. You have lots of complaints about going to bed. Now Bed is going to take some time to talk about you. They have a few notes about how you sleep, where you happen to store an old bowl of cereal, the unpleasant drool on the pillow. Perhaps you could take some time to listen to Bed’s feelings? Just a few notes…
Monica Arnaldo’s illustrations are perfectly charming and silly, and the story of Bed listing their experiences with their child is both clever and hilarious. From stickers being placed everywhere, to using the bed as a fort, an easel, a trampoline, these are all things I think we’ve done as children. Now our children continue on the tradition. But now we get to see all these experiences from the funny point of view of our dear bed. What WOULD Bed think of all our topsy-turvy play? If you want a good laugh and clever story inversion, grab this book from our collection today!
