  • SUCH a cute little book! Got it for my sister's kids, but laughed at the story for myself!!!
I don't have kids, but my sister does, and I have been trying to buy books for them so I have entertainment when I go to babysit. So if a cute-looking kids book shows up on my radar I always take a look. And I have to say this book was just SO cute. I loved the pictures. They are incredibly detailed (speaking from my limited experience with kids books), and very colorful. Adorable story as well. And my favorite line: "Delicate question: Is it the pee-pee? I looked it up online and you'll be thrilled to know that my tinkles are harmless. There are actually many benefits to waking up damp from liquid waste." Yeah, I laughed at that one for a long time. And also the reasons our daring protagonist came up with! I think my niece and nephews will love this :) ... show more

  • My Daughter's FAVORITE!
My 3 year old begs to have this book read to her over and over. FINALLY she's gotten to the point of memorizing each page! Bunmi once again captures our hearts and minds and laughs in one single book. After reading this book and 2 others by her, I'm convinced that whatever she writes I will buy and love and keep for many years. I also am so happy that she used black illustrations for the characters. Too often we only see characters illustrated as black when they are supporting characters, struggle narratives, or head on self esteem boosting books to fight discrimination. All of that is fine but it's SO refreshing to just have a funny inclusive story with characters that look like my family. Well done 20 times over! Buy the book y'all. ... show more

  • Wonderful book that had my daughter laughing SO hard
I have an almost 5 year old who has been transitioning out of my bed. We have been using many of the tactics listed in the book (buy you new sheets, you can come back in the morning, daddy will move you to your bed after you fall asleep) so my husband, daughter and I all related to the story. The illustrations are beautiful and it is the kind of book that can go into a memory box. I was, however, disappointed with two pages that I felt messed with the flow of the story and were completely unnecessary.. (the pee pee pages). It just made us all cringe... and was definitely not relatable. I just skip those pages in the story because I don't like reading it.. the story sounds wonderful without it. I chose not to knock off one star for those two pages because of the joy it brought to my daughters face. It really is a wonderful book that I HIGHLY recommend. I enjoy reading it to her, she enjoys reading it to me from her point of view... we LOVE it! ... show more

  • My daughter’s favorite book
It may cause temporary issues with your child wanting to sleep in “the big bed” but once you get passed that it’s just a funny family inside joke. She loves this book and threatens to put us on a cot if we misbehave. Daughter is 4.

  • Humorous
Very funny and charming book about a young girl trying to convince her parents that the "Big" bed isn't big enough for the three of them. So, Dad needs to go, or at least he needs to sleep in something else next to the bed. The illustrations are colorful and pair very well to the witty text. I love how the little girl presents her arguments in such a logical and official manner. I could do without all the pee-pee stuff, but I still think this makes for a humorous bedtime story for parents and children alike. (less) ... show more
