A boy's bed transforms into a time machine, taking him on a prehistoric adventure.
A young boy dreads bedtime until his stuffed bunny reveals a secret: his bed is a time machine. Together, they journey to the age of dinosaurs, befriending a tyrannosaurus rex. As they explore this prehistoric world, bedtime fears fade into thrilling adventures. Will he conquer the night and become the Boss of Bedtime? Discover how a simple sleep turns into a journey through time, where every night holds the promise of new adventures.
Bedtime can be frightening—a dark room, spooky shadows, silence. Our narrator worries about what’s hiding in the dark, until his stuffed bunny, Floppy, tells him a secret: His bed is really a time machine.
And they set off on an adventure into the past, to the coolest time ever—the age of the dinosaurs—to meet the coolest animal ever—the tyrannosaurus rex! This night’s sleep will span millions of years, but it’s so fun it’ll feel like it’s over in the blink of an eye.
It’s Not a Bed, It’s a Time Machine is the ultimate goodnight picture book, showing that going to sleep is nothing to be afraid of. Instead, it’s just the beginning of a time-spanning adventure.
