Creak! Said the Bed by Phyllis Root

The cozy, humorous story is guaranteed to invite giggling kids into their parents' beds. --Kirkus Reviews

On a stormy night in a little house, only Papa keeps snoring away--snurkle, snark--unaware of the wild weather outside and the growing number of nervous bedmates within. Can nothing wake him? Creak says the bed. . . . With a cumulative series of comical events, this delightful story sends readers barreling toward bedlam.

Phyllis Root has written many books for children, including Oliver Finds His Way, What Baby Wants, Rattletrap Car, and Kiss the Cow! She says that the idea for Big Momma Makes the World came from a long-ago family car trip through the West. My children were restless, yet fascinated by the unfamiliar scenery. They made up stories about why the landscape looked the way it did, and God and a baby were in lots of the stories. Phyllis Root lives in Minnesota with her two daughters.
Helen Oxenbury is one of today's most acclaimed illustrators. Among her books are Lewis Carroll's ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, which won a Kate Greenaway Medal; Trish Cooke's SO MUCH; Martin Waddell's FARMER DUCK; and Michael Rosen's WE'RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT. She says of working on BIG MOMMA MAKES THE WORLD, As I read Phyllis's text, I imagined Big Momma as part Buddha, part housewife. . . . It was intimidating to create a whole world, but very enjoyable.
