Creak! Said the Bed

Creak! Said the BedIt's the middle of a very dark night and everyone is in bed.  That is, until Evie got scared in her room and came to sleep with Mom and Dad.  (Creak! said the bed.) Soon, Ivy was too cold in her room, so she joined them too.  (Creak! said the bed.) Soon, brother Mo was at the door, reporting that his room was spooky, and he joined them (CREAK! said the bed.) When Fred the dog also wants to join the sleeping party, things get even more interesting.  Read it for the funny ending.  This quirky tale is the newest by Phyllis Root.  The illustrations by Regan Dunnick, are spot-on for conveying the sounds and humor of the story.
