The Magic Bed

Booklist - PreS. When little Georgie outgrows his crib, he chooses an antique replacement that is inscribed with the promise of magic if he says his prayers and a secret password, which he finally discovers. Every night thereafter, Georgie embarks on a new and different journey: through the jungle, on a swim with dolphins ("which is why his bed was sometimes wet in the mornings"), in the stream of dreamtime traffic, or racing geese and witches. Then Georgie's family replaces his magic bed with a bland new one, but he manages one last flight. The ambiguous ending is a bit weak, the subject (a child's secret nighttime adventures) isn't new, and a few details are unclear: Whom does Georgie live with? How old is he? But Burningham's simple, show more sly sentences and whimsical mixed-media art will immediately transport children on their own imagined departures, while reassuring little ones who are dreading new, big beds of their own.

One day, Georgie outgrows his bed, so at the request of his granny, he and his father go into town to by a new one. On their way to the shopping center, Gerogie notices an antique furniture store and decides that he wants to look for a bed there. The man at the store shows Georgie an old, beat up bed that he claims is magic and can travel places. Georgie knows that it's the bed for him. When he brings the bed home, his granny is confused as to why he didn't just get a new one. For the next couple of nights, Georgie tries his hardest to say the "magic" word that will take him places, but can't seem to figure it out. Finally one night he must have gotten it right because he and the bed went traveling over the city, into the jungle, to a show more field with gnomes and fairies, swimming with dolphins, and many more places. show less
