Creak! Said the Bed by Phyllis Root, illustrated by Regan Dunnick

2010/32 pgs.

About the Book: One after another the kids come into the room and want to sleep in Mom and Dad's bed. But what happens when the dog wants to join too? Can the bed really hold everyone?

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: This is a humorous family story ala The Napping House. Kids and parents will relate to the crowded bed and kids will be laughing as each new family member arrives wanting a place in the bed. Poppa sleeps through most of it, snoring and making nosies like "snurkle" until Fred the dog shows up wanting in the bed too. The illustrations are fun and colorful and it's fun to look for where the crack is on the bed as the suspense builds. A fun book for storytime!
