    Illustrated by Tom Knight

    Publisher’s Synopsis: From Bunmi Laditan, the creator of the Honest Toddler blog, The Big Bed is a humorous picture book about a girl who doesn’t want to sleep in her little bed, so she presents her dad with his own bed―a camping cot!―in order to move herself into her parents’ big bed in his place. A twist on the classic parental struggle of not letting kids sleep in their bed.

      My 6 year old grandson and 1 year old grandson would like this book about the “family bed”. It looks a good book for kids with siblings to read along and enjoy the pictures.
