Poor Jed. Its time for him to graduate from sleeping in a crib to a really, big bed, and hes just not ready for this dramatic step. When everyone in his family -- parents, sister, aunt, uncle, grandmother -- all join forces to persuade him, he remains resistant. Its not until they prove how comfortable the new bed is that Jed becomes proprietary. This is a delightful rhyming tale with perfect illustrations, and a comforting message to boot.
Jed hates the idea of a new big boy bed. He clearly prefers his old crib instead. Laurie Friedmans adorable rhyming book makes the decision to finally change from a crib into a bed...such fun! I think every kid trying to decide whether or not they even like the idea of such a move...will love reading about Jed and his determined-to-help family. From the delightful dialogue...to the charming illustrations, this book makes BEDtime extra special.
Meeting Jed was a great experience for my toddler. A stubborn sleeper, much like Jed, she didnt want to sleep until she met this new bedtime buddy. Mrs. Friedmans insights in this book mix humor with a profound ability to get to the core of the matter. Her phrases are wonderfully put and my child was able to walk away with quotes from the story. The illustrations match the easy flow of the words and inspire a wonderful reading session between parent and child. Bravo to Mrs. Friedman!!
