The lovely watercolor illustrations of Horatio's Bed never descend into the realm of sap, although with stuffed animals, the potential is of course there. By treating the characters with the respect she does, Camilla Ashforth makes this book a delight for both the adult reader and the child audience. The basic plot is simple. Horatio, a small stuffed rabbit, needs a bed, and his friend James, a stuffed bear, is helping him to find one. This book is best for the under five crowd.

This book is even better than advertized. Not only is it a copy of my children's favorite book, it is the British version of it. I needed one more copy, and it is out of print, so I order used ones for when my teenagers grow up and marry and have grandkids, they can read their favorite story from childhood. Thank you so much for this great book.

I love children's books. Bill Peet & Maurice Sendack were my favorite writers/ illustrators when I was young, but now I have a new favorite. Horatio's Bed is my all time favorite children's book ever. It is so adorable. Camilla has made the characters feel so real. I fell in love with them immediately. Well, I'm not so good with words, but Camilla is! I wish this was in print so I could buy a copy.
