Description
"The views of Reindeer awkwardly sprawled atop or wedged into hammocks or different types of too-small or otherwise unsuitable bedsteads are positively chuckleworthy....The bright, matte colors are eye-catching, offering just the right balance of busyness to help guide board-book readers into more-complicated compositions....."We all sleep best," the simply phrased narrative concludes, "in our own bed."" - Kirkus Reviews It's Late. Everyone is tired. "Time to go to bed!" Reindeer says. But which bed belongs to Reindeer? A funny story with flaps for sleepy toddlers ages 24 months and up, with a focus on the child's daily life. At Clavis, our focus is on what's best for children. We believe that books play an important role in each new phase in life. Our toddler books are tailored for every stage from 0 to 3 and focus on the five most important themes in their life: daily life, skills, emotions, the world, and language development. The age range and theme of every book in our toddler series can be found on the back cover in the form of a colored train.

About the Author
I'm Anita Bijsterbosch. I was born in 1961 in The Netherlands. My entire life, I have loved reading. As a child, I could spend hours thumbing through books, looking at the pictures and hoping I could one day make such beautiful illustrations myself. I studied the images down to the smallest detail and made up my own little stories to go along with them. After high school, I took drawing and painting lessons in small galleries in my neighborhood. And I learned a lot from drawing and painting books. But I also mastered many techniques simply by experimenting with them on my own. When my children were still young, I read them a bedtime story every night. I rediscovered that some picture books are real pieces of art. That's when I got the ambition to make my very own picture books. I was remarked by the jury of the Key Colours International Illustrators Award 2012. The book Whose Hat is That? was published by Clavis Publishing and every book I have made since has been even more successful.

"The views of Reindeer awkwardly sprawled atop or wedged into hammocks or different types of too-small or otherwise unsuitable bedsteads are positively chuckle-worthy....The bright, matte colors are eye-catching, offering just the right balance of busyness to help guide board-book readers into more-complicated compositions....."We all sleep best," the simply phrased narrative concludes, "in our own bed." Truer words..." - Kirkus Reviews "The pack of animals that make up reindeer's friends are adorable... will delight younger children - that along with the fold out pages would make it great for story time. " - Kiss the Book Jr. "Must Read Spring Picture Books. Kids will enjoy lifting the pages to see the animals in their unique beds." - Melissa Taylor, Imagination Soup "With pages that fold out, and wonderfully colorful illustrations, this book is perfect for bedtime. Children will enjoy trying to figure out whose bed belongs to whom, and they will be rooting for poor Reindeer, who is not having much luck finding his bed." - Through the Looking Glass Children's Reviews "Lift-Flap Books Add Surprise To Reading Time. Sammy in the Spring and My Bed are two bright books with half-pages that hide and reveal....flaps help add anticipation, surprise and hand-eye coordination in this fun series about children's daily lives. - Lee Littlewood, Kids' Home Library (nationally syndicated review column) "Great addition to any home library." - Nicole Caudle "This fun book introduces toddlers to different animal's names and reassures them that their very own bed is the best. The illustrations are colorful, sweet and expressive. This book is a perfect bedtime read... shared of course cuddling together under the covers of your child's very own favourite bed." - Marilyn Panton, Storywraps "A wonderful addition to the family library." - Carla Johnson-Hicks, educator "A great fun book for bedtime which I'm sure toddlers will love." - Laura Hainsworth
