Back to Bed, Ed!
Back to Bed, Ed!
by Sebastien Braun
I have to admit that I was nervous about reviewing a book since this is a first for me. But when I received Back to bed, Ed! I just smiled from ear to ear and all my worries went away. :o)
If you know me, you know I love cute, funny and simple. And this book has got all three!
The illustrator is Sebastien Braun who happens to be one of my favorite illustrators. I have always admired his work. His illustrations are full of sentiment and warmth. The style in which he approached this book however is a style I’ve never seen before. It’s as adorable as his usual work only very graphic and with a bolder line work that I think works perfectly with this book and with the younger audience.
Now Braun is not only the illustrator but the author as well. The story is about a cute little mouse named Ed who loves going to bed but hates staying in bed.
You can see an example of the humor I was referring to in this illustration:
How does Ed solve his problem and manages to happily sleep in bed at night all by himself? Well, you are going to have to read the book. I can’t say that or I’ll spoil all the fun.
Back to Bed, Ed! is a simple, funny and sweet book. The perfect book to read to your kid before bed specially if your kid is the type that knocks on your door... a lot. :o)

This looks like another book to add to the must-have list! The illustration of Ed lying perpendicular in bed with his foot in his Dad's ear seems very familiar.....hmmm been there before! ;) cute, cute , cute!
It looks adorable! I haven't seen this title before so I'll have to check it out now:) Great review, Alicia!
Haha, I know Suzanne... I love that illustration. Been there, done that! Thanks for visiting and for your comment. :o)
It is Cyn! Thanks for stopping by :o)
Oh my goodness - that looks ADORABLE! We have a similar issue with my little guy during naptime. I'll have to see what their solution is, hee hee.
I think a lot of people have the very same problem with their dogs! Ha ha!! Too cute!!
What a funny and cute illustration!! I can remember being in this very predicament with children and later with my dog! It was easier to train the dog to stay in her own bed.
Great review!
p.s. I am VERY curious to know how Ed solves the problem!
I guess all children must sleep like that when in their parents bed! Dexter is the same way and he's only one. Looks like a sweet book, thank for the review.
It's is an adorable book Gina :o)
Michelle- The dogs? Haha.. It's possible. :o)
Thanks Ann! Yes dogs don't have so many excuses. Plus if there are monsters under their beds chances are they will lick them to death. At least my pups would.. :o)
Glad you enjoyed the review Crystal! Well at that age is when they start getting in their parents bed. You still have a few years of enjoyment... lol :o)
Oh, the illustrations are so adorable in this book. I really love the expression of the baby that is not sleeping in the crib. Great review, Alicia!
Me too Tracy! She is adorable :o)
