Being a plush toy might sound like an easy job, but when a newcomer joins their group, the bedside toys show him everything that goes into taking care of a child while he is sleeping. Every night, they make sure that he isn't too hot or too cold, and that he stays safely in his bed. They chase away bedbugs and bad dreams. And on Christmas Eve they have the very important task of making sure the child does not awake until morning. The new toy - and the reader - will find a lot to learn before the night is over. Acclaimed author-artist Alexis Deacon has produced an enchanting bedtime picture book filled with soothing, dreamy pictures and gentle humor.
I loved this book. When I got to the end I actually had a little swelling around my eyes - almost cried. It was 20 pages long. The text was superb, and the illustrations were fitting for the story. The story is about a little girl's dolls and toys that she keeps in her bedroom. They seem to have a life of their own when the little girl sleeps at night. They have their chores and they look out for their owner, the little girl. I'm sure preschool kids will love this book. Maybe I would have liked it better if the illustrations had not been as "hazy" as they were, but I do not have any idea how they would have to be done to improve upon my experience of reading the book. 5 stars!
