please, bring this book back!
By MonkGroupie on February 9, 2002
Format: 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.

Takes children through the magic that all beds can be...
By A Customer on August 5, 1997
Format: 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

Not just an ordinary book
By J. Keane on April 15, 2000
Format: 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.

The Bed Book will be Available in September!
By A Customer on May 20, 1999
Format: Paperback
After years of searching for a copy (new or used) of Plath's "The Bed Book", which I used to read to my son when he was a toddler, I discovered that a publisher in the U.K. is going to re-release the book in September, 1999. I hope Amazon.com will make it available. . . this is a smashingly creative book, with page after page of beautiful watercolor illustrations.
