Reviews:

• A Big Kid Bed is Coming worked perfectly, thank you!!
• This book was INCREDIBLE and worked absolutely perfectly for my 3-year-old boy/girl twins. Many books show a kid giving excuses for why they don't want to be in a big kid bed, which a child can copy. In this book, the sweet elephant shows the kid all the fun things you can do in bed! I just added the book from this series with Louie eating veggies to my cart. I wish she wrote one for potty training. "Silly Louie" (as we lovingly call him) is a favorite in our house.
• Before we transitioned my 2-year-old to a toddler bed, we bought multiple books to read to him about it. A Big Kid Bed is Coming is by far our favorite. Louie is a loveable character, and the rhyming is appealing for toddlers. It's a cute story & goes over that he isn't sleeping well in a crib & that mommy/daddy are building him a bed. He talks about how Louie is nervous, but with his "superhero powers," he's brave and gives it a try. Just overall, a cute story that hits all the important aspects of transitioning to a toddler bed.
• We purchased this book in anticipation of our daughter going into her big kid's bed. She loves this book and requests it all the time. I love how it doesn't talk about being "scary" to move to a big kid like several other books. It makes it an adventure instead and has a very positive message.
