Join Barney the bear as he sets out to find a bed that's just right for him. Will he find the perfect place to sleep before bedtime? A brand-new story in the multi-million selling Ten Minutes to Bed series, perfect for helping children wind down at bedtime.
Little Bear, Barney, likes everything to be just right. He always has to have the yummiest porridge, the comfiest chair and the snuggliest blanket. So one night, when Barney can't sleep, he goes out in search of the very best bed in the forest.
But Fox's underground bed is too dark . . .
Hedgehog's leafy bed is too rustly . . .
and Mouse's grassy nest is too small!
And with night falling, will Barney the bear be able to find his way home – back to the bed that's just right for him?
Weaving a journey from lively beginning to gentle end, a ten-minute countdown to bed is at the heart of this magical rhyming book. Packed with best-loved fairytale and forest characters, this brand-new Ten Minutes to Bed story is the perfect book to help little ones settle down to sleep.
