5.0 out of 5 stars please, bring this book back!, February 9, 2002
This review is from: The Bed Book (Hardcover)
Embark on a gentle, fantastic trip into a magical world that lies between reality and dream. Your child's imagination (and your own) will drift into sleep with images of acrobats, submarines, elephant beds, and so much more!

That this book should be out of print is a complete mystery to me, not enough violence in it, I imagine. As for the used price above, I can just imagine snuggling in bed with my child and an antique book... Books like this are meant to be read again and again, not placed in a gilded cage on a pedestal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes children through the magic that all beds can be..., August 5, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bed Book (Paperback)
Discovered along a shelf of an old library in Germany this book became a favorite from day one. Forget the Sylvia Plath learned in freshman English and tight biography; the bed book sings. It encompasses all the joys of imagination when the bed in darkness bore you away to magic kingdoms and jungles dark. With a whimsy and rhyme it carries the reader through the shapes and wonders of each bed. "In an elephant bed you can go where you please. You can pick bananas right out of the trees. An elephant bed is where kings ride. It's cool as a pool in the shade inside." Who hasn't wished to snuggle again into the beds of childhood deep and soft, warm with play; no deadlines or faxes to looming near

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just an ordinary book, April 15, 2000
By 
J. Keane (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Bed Book (Paperback)
"Not just a white little, tucked in tight little, nighty night little, turn out the light little, Bed."

And this is not just an ordinary book. I came accross it one day and decided to give it a go, having read other Plath works. This book is incredible, te utter childishness of it, every time I think of it, it brings a smile to my face. This book is a must-read.
