A child's bed is personified in this tale and let's his owner know all of his thoughts! Bed feels left out and sad because nobody likes going to bed! He talks back to the kid and let's him know his real feelings.
This is quite the comedy book. It's amusing if you read it in just the right tone. I appreciated it as an adult and I can easily see children giggling along to this story.
I did wish the ending had a bit more... umph. It felt lacking. There was no big funny ending or lesson learned. It just felt like a goofy gimmick. I still think kids will love it for it's comedy, but it fell a little flat for me.
The art style is funky, bright and colourful. It fits the sassiness of this fun story very well!
Two out of five stars.
