From the publisher

I Like to Read(R) Books for Beginning Readers- More than 70 fun-to-read books for new readers- Guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards- Award-winning easy reader series, created by acclaimed author-illustrators including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors- Levels A though D for kindergarten readers; levels D through G for early first grade readers Imaginative, funny, and charming, this is a perfect story for early readers–some of whom may still be waging bedtime battles of their own. “Go to bed.””No.””I said, BED.””I said, NO!” Mom eventually wins this argument, but even after her son is all tucked in, his opinion hasn’t changed. “Bed is bad,” he whispers to his teddy bear. Teddy, however, disagrees. “This bed is GOOD,” he says. “This bed can GO.” Indeed, with a few alterations, the bed is suddenly mobile–and boy and bear are journeying down the road, out to sea, and ultimately, to outer space, where the boy concludes that this is one bed that’s worth fighting for!
