A pirate is sleeping snug in his bed, dreaming pirate dreams, when a great storm comes up at sea. The pirate sleeps on, but his bed is awake and scared of the thunder and the angry waves. Tossed this way and that, the ship finally crashes, sending the pirate to a tropical island and his bed off to sea. At first, the bed is overjoyed. It's free from smelly feet, snoring and scratchy wool. It floats in the now peaceful water, meeting friendly gulls and playful dolphins and basking in the sun. But soon the little bed begins to feel like something is missing... This fanciful tale of a bed lost at sea will capture the hearts of little pirates everywhere and send them off to sleep with dreams of tropical birds, swooshing waves and chattering monkeys.
ReviewsPRAISE FOR Nicola Winstanley's Cinnamon Baby : "A charming offering infused with warmth, romantic whimsy, and love." -- Booklist "... turns the power of a mother's love into about as delicious a story as you could want when the subject is unhappy babies." -- The New York Times PRAISE FOR Matt James: "Matt James calibrates his paintings to convey the relationship between memory and art, between what a child sees and how she recalls the experience of seeing... The layering of paint, the dark outlines of animals and objects, the piling on and scratching away: all these techniques find parallels in the workings of memory." -- The New York Times
