Book Reviews of Bed, Bed, Bed (They Might Be Giants)

Book Review: Absolutely Beautiful!
Summary: 4 Stars

I got this book as a gift for a 17-month-old girl, and it has been a huge success. I had second thoughts about giving it to her--I'm a They Might be Giants fan, adored the gorgeous illustrations, and kind of wanted to keep it for myself! The joy this book brings this girl is more than enough reward for my generosity, she absolutely adores it. I couldn't disagree more with reviewers who question this books appeal to young children. This girl asks for it by name constantly and I have read it to her countless times. She is transfixed by the illustrations and has learned a lot of words from the book. While the "stories" are song lyrics rather than straight text, I disagree with reviewers who see this as a weakness, the rhyme and rhythm of the words entrances the little girl I got it for. The text is very much in keeping with Dr. Seuss and other classic children's authors, in my opinion. I highly recommend this book!

Summary of Bed, Bed, Bed (They Might Be Giants)

Four stories to read in the book!

Four new songs to sing on the CD inside the book!

You can enjoy Bed, Bed, Bed anytime and anywhere but it is especially good for bedtime, especially good to read out loud, and it's especially good to share.

Parents and kids looking for a break from the ordinary will appreciate this imaginative collection of stories and songs from quirk-rock kings They Might Be Giants. Fresh on the heels of their highly successful children's record No!, Bed, Bed, Bed features four brief stories written by the Giants and illustrated with surreal panache by Marcel Dzama along with a CD featuring all four stories in song version. "Impossible" explores the possibility of turning into fantastical animals like Octofish and Octofee or growing violet hair that flows down the stairs. Kids will find the silly animals and warped reality delightful and will love singer John Linnell's spacey conspiratorial tone. "Happy Doesn?t Have to Have an Ending" tells the story of a hippie kitten "on a secret mission to make a valentine for everyone on earth," who wants everyone to dance and be happy. "Idlewild" slows things down with a softer, sleepier beat and a story about a dreamy trip to the carnival. But the Giants save the best story for last; "Bed Bed Bed Bed Bed" is a well-reasoned and catchy argument for slumber. "I did so many things today, there?s nothing left to do", sings guest vocalist Kimya Dawson (in a slower, different version than the one on "No!"). While the story features familiar bedtime milestones, Dzama?s illustrations lend the proceedings a compellingly skewed vision in which kids eat three meals in the company of bears and go to bed accompanied by their pet octopus and a tuxedoed rabbit. While the lyrics flow nicely in the songs, they can sometimes be a bit clunky on the page. But even then, the stories and Dzama?s illustrations are more imaginative and memorable than most children?s books today. --John Moe
