Ned Goes to Bed
Isabelle Jossa
At night, Ned feels so alone in his bed ? as lonely as the Moon in the night sky. Big shadows scare him, and he can't fall asleep. Ned hides under the covers, and suddenly the adventure begins. To overcome his fears Ned will organize the most fantastic cosmic picnic anyone's ever seen! Taking a topic familiar to children, this playful story broaches a sometimes-difficult topic and helps youngsters overcome fears of the dark and feel comfortable in bed. This book features two fun pop-ups, including one that can be removed and used as a shade for a bedside lamp or night light.

And when the dragon swoops into town every night, he always runs inside just as he's asked.But one morning, instead of saying, 'yes'; he says, 'NO!'; He will NOT help his dad find his shield, his arrow or his bow, and he will certainly NOT let the butcher go past. That night, he refuses to go inside, and in doing so he confronts the dragon, making a very unlikely friend . . .This rambunctious, rhyming picture book is a brilliantly observed portrait of children's behaviour, with vibrant, detailed illustrations by the enormously talented Kate Hindley.
