Under the Bed: The Bedtime Book

Poetry and prose about bedtime and sleep, from both children’s and parents’ viewpoints.

Michael Rosen has slept through many hard nights doing the research for this brilliant study of bedtime; and now, for the first time, he reveals his immense knowledge of toe-twiddling, pillow-hugging and Fat Fred’s hiding place.

Quentin Blake has also spent a large part of his life asleep, which helps to explain his profound understanding of bedrooms which look like pigsties.
