Original catálogo de camas que no entienden de reglas, y sobre las que uno puede surcar mares o alcanzar el espacio exterior. Camas que sirven de escenario a trapecistas y que pueden ensuciarse sin temor a reprimendas.

This delightful little book contains a bedtime poem that author Sylvia Plath wrote for her children. This isn't the acerbic wit of Plath in The Bell Jar but a sweet tale perfect for sharing with the little ones in your live. The fantastical plot, if you would, takes the children away from their dull everyday beds to imagining all the kinds of beds there could be. For example, there's an elephant bed where you can pick the bananas from trees as you pass by, a pocket-size bed to carry with you so you never miss out on a sleepover because there isn't a bed for you, and a snack bed allowing you to eat in bed without ever getting up or needing money for the vending machine. The whimsical story is accompanied by equally whimsical illustrations by Emily Arnold McCully. ( )

This is an absolutely fabulous book. I don't know why it hasn't been republished in hard back. Our copy is in tatters from being read so often. ( )

This book is a long, long poem about different beds. Beds of every sort are imagined- beds that spurt snacks, go exciting places, or bounce you into outer space. Any of these, it claims would be better than a traditional bed. I admit that I was hoping she would draw the connection to imagining all these things in a regular bed, but children will go for the fantastical aspects of it. ( )
