Babies sleep in cribs. Do big kids? No! Big kids sleep in a big bed. Every child's life is filled with milestones. Some happen easily; others need a little extra support. Artist and mom Maria van Lieshout has been there. Drawing upon her own experiences, she has created an engaging series of books that are just right for children on the brink of major changes and the caregivers who encourage them. Review: Great story - We read it daily for a week before my son moved out of his crib. He still loves the book. Simple and great for little ones (we also love the paci story) Review: My favorite of all the "big kid bed" books - I bought 4 books to prepare my son for his transition into a big boy bed, and this one is by far my favorite! It's easy to follow, brings up real concerns a child might have (and addresses those concerns), and it doesn't set any bad examples. (i.e. the character in the book doesn't get out of his bed and explore his house like in some other books...I don't want to even introduce that idea to my son!) I am very happy with this book and highly recommend it.

Great read for my 2.5 YO
This was perfect for my daughters transition to a big girl bed. We started reading it a few days before and then the night of the transition. I also love that it’s an African American character, my daughter is mixed and I love to expose her to diverse characters that look like her and her family members.

Great book for big kid bed transition
I love how simple this story is because it make it easily understandable to a toddler. It shows how babies sleep in a crib but big kids get a big bed. It shows the bedtime routine and is very happy. If you are looking for one book, this is it.

A simple, sweet book
We liked this book because it didn't get into introducing any scary ideas to our son. It's a simple, sweet book that helps build up the idea that sleeping in a big bed is cool!

Love this!
My 3 year old twins loved this book. It went into perfect detail that helped my kids prepare for big kid beds. If you’re on the fence, buy this. I was and I wasn’t disappointed.

Boring & Bland Illustration
My 2.5 year old had no interest in this. It’s “ok” in terms of reading it out loud- get a the point across. Simple as expected but it’s so boring compared to other books and not visually appealing at all- it’s dark, no color other than black brown and blue.

Great little book
This is perfect book to read to children before or while they are transitioning from a crib to a “big” bed. My grandchildren loved it!

Basic and boring for my toddler.
No real story and really basic book for a toddler. I was disappointment it wasn’t more exciting, animated and encouraging given what it’s about. It was a bit of a nothing book. My son isn’t interested in reading it more than the once. Would not recommend.

Kid loves it
My wife purchased this book and our son took to it immediately very happy to introduce it at the same time as him transitioning to his larger bed made the whole process exciting with stories to match.
