Product Description

Ben's dad wasn't getting much sleep. There were too many children in his bed. Not just Ben, but also his baby brother Billy. And then the twins, Beth and Bart, arrived. There was only one thing for it! Ben's dad fetched his tools, and set to work building the biggest bed in the world. At last he had enough room to sleep comfortably, even after the triplets, Briony, Bella and Boris were born. But, unfortunately for Ben's dad, he still had a problem. The biggest bed in the world was also the heaviest bed in the world and one night, in the middle of the night, it began to move! Lindsay Camp's hilarious tale will delight pre-school children, who will love the rhythmic, patterned language and the outrageous idea of a bed on the move with a whole family asleep on top of it. AGE 3-7

Customer Reviews

A beautifully written and illustrated story.
My two and a half year old daughter and I love to share this book at bedtime. It is a beautifully written story about a family that just keeps on expanding. Jonathan Langley brings the characters to life with stunning illustrations. The family look so friendly and chaotic I would love to have them as neighbours. Mum even breastfeeds! This is a book for all families who seem to end up sleeping (or not!) in the same bed. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Very entertaining a great read for both kids and big kids
I loved this book it is definately a favourite of my nephew in the states. We borrowed this one from the library and enjoyed it so much we are going to purchase a copy. It is one of those books that they keep going back too. There is so much to talk about on each page and it really holds the childs attention.

A great story
My daughter and I love this story. It's the familar story all families know...children wanting to sleep with mum & dad. It's simple and silly and is one of those stories that will stay with you until you're old and grey !
