I was surprised that my five-year-old LOVES it. I thought it would be too young for him, but he thinks it's hilarious. We don't have a problem with him coming into our room, he just hates going to bed, period, but once he finally stays there he sleeps just fine in his own room. So I thought that it wouldn't even be that applicable to us, but he loves it. Now we can say, "Back to Bed, Ed!" as an inside joke whenever he isn't going to bed very well, and it lightens everything up and relaxes us all. What a lucky library find! (And we might need our own copy after it's due...) Cute simple book with whimsical illustrations. Ed loves getting ready for bed and loves going to bed, but HATES staying in bed. The parents come up with a solution. And so does Ed. A very funny surprise ending. At second reading, not quite as funny because I missed an important aspect of the illustrations the first time through. Perfect for young listeners who don't like staying in bed, AND for children who don't want to go to bed in the first place.
What do You think about Back To Bed, Ed (2010)?
This book was written about my child and our bedtime struggles. :) Loved the illustrations.
