Winifred's New Bed

This large shiny paperback is immediately attractive because of the cover picture of Winifred in her cot surrounded by her soft toys, and inside a double page spread shows the toys ready to be taken to bed - a delightful introduction to a story for bed-time about a bed! The bed in question belongs to Winifred and the story deals with the milestone of moving from cot to big bed (which some children may find difficult but which all will find an event). The new bed seems strange and large at first so Winifred takes one of her toys with her every night until by the end of the week there is hardly any room for her. The family cat, feeling left out, creeps in at the other side and Winifred is pushed out. A reassuring, warm story to be recommended.
