Have you ever woken up with a little foot in your face or stomach? If you answered yes, The Biggest Bed in the World is a must read for you and your children.
Little Ben starts off sleeping in bed with his mom and dad, but as Ben gets bigger, Ben’s dad has trouble sleeping. A bigger bed solves the problem, that is, until Ben’s brother is born. Then they get an even bigger bed and the twins are born.
And after that triplets arrive!
As you can imagine, the bed just can’t handle the crowd. So dad makes the biggest bed in the world and still can’t sleep. Finally, all of the children are put in beds of their own. But dad still can’t sleep because the bed feels too empty.
Langley’s gentle pencil-and-watercolor illustrations bring out the warmth and humor of Camp’s text. This silly story poking fun at the realities of life with young children is sure to please children and parents of all ages.
Ages 3-7
