In the middle of a dark, stormy night, one child, then another, then a third wake their mother and ask to climb into the bed, but when the last member of the family arrives Papa declares there is no more room

Perfect book for sequencing activities. At bedtime, the members of the family all have some reason to go into the bed. Eventually, the bed "creaks". Children love to hear the ending of the story and make predictions throughout. ( )

Momma's always have a soft spot for their children, especially when it comes to their children not wanting to sleep alone at night. When their children are not wanting to sleep alone one night, they all find a way to make it work. However, Dad is not too keen about the decision especially when the bed doesn't hold up! I think this was a cute book because it was funny how the mom kept saying yes to the children going in their room and the dad was knocked out snoring the whole time until something woke him up. I used to walk into my parents bedroom when I was a tiny kid and was scared to sleep alone. My mom always said yes to me sleeping with them and my dad was always knocked out sleeping the whole time! The text in this book and the illustrations really brought the book and the actions to life! This was a very cute book! ( )

Nighttime...such a peaceful, quiet, calm time. Not always! Dad's snoring, the thunder's booming and where is that creak coming from? Everyone piles in mom and dad's bed and with each movement there's a new sound to tickle the ear. This is a great story for sequencing events or just to read for fun. ( )
