Stories written in such a smart fantasy truly have a magical allure.

They transport us to worlds beyond our imagination, filled with wonder and excitement.

Among them, I think my favorite one is 'The bed book'.

The concept of this book is simply fascinating.

It makes me wish I could own one of these beds.

Just imagine having a bed that can take you on different adventures while you sleep.

It would be like having a personal gateway to countless dreams and experiences.

Each night could be a new journey, filled with unique landscapes and encounters.

The possibilities are endless.

Owning such a bed would surely add a touch of magic to my life.

It would be a source of inspiration and a place where my creativity could truly soar.

I can only dream of the day when I might have the opportunity to sleep in a bed like the one described in 'The bed book'.

Until then, I will continue to be captivated by the enchanting stories that authors create in the realm of smart fantasy.

This book set off early in the morning with a generous cake, packed together and transported in a kind taxi to the other side of Sofia - a gift for the fifth birthday of a fury.

After that, I wished for the book for myself and now I have had it twice.

I laughed out loud for beds like these:

You will go to Mars

with the bed rocket

equipped with a mosquito net*

for catching comets.

And in case at night

your chicken pecks the core**,

the bed cafeteria

solves the problem

with a bread head,

and precisely from behind -

a huge, free

snack.

*I remembered the bed with torn canopies in a Thai island village, intertwined among which I had a sharp encounter with mosquitoes.

**This is the ultimate dream for people who don't fall asleep before 4:00.

The story of this book and the associated bed descriptions are quite interesting and imaginative. It creates a vivid picture in the reader's mind, taking them on a journey of fantasy and fun. The combination of the gift for the little fury's birthday and the humorous bed scenarios adds a touch of lightheartedness to the narrative. It makes one wonder about the possibilities and creativity that can be found in the simplest of things, like a book and a bed.

Overall, it's a charming and engaging piece that leaves a lasting impression.

One of my favourite childhood books given to me by my mother was "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

This book opened up a magical world of imagination for me. The story follows a young girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole and enters a strange and wonderful land filled with talking animals, curious creatures, and mind-bending adventures.

The vivid descriptions and unique characters in the book captured my attention from the very beginning. I was completely enthralled by Alice's encounters with the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts.

My mother's gift of this book not only provided me with hours of entertainment but also sparked my love for reading and exploring new worlds through literature. It remains a cherished memory of my childhood and a reminder of the special bond I share with my mother.

Before reading "The Glass Menagerie", I decided to start with a more cheerful note by reading children's stories by Sylvia Platt. For me, the first one with a costume was the weakest. The second one had a rather dull happy ending, but the last little poem was the best for me.


An enormous plus for the book are the illustrations. They are truly unique!


I really enjoyed exploring these different stories. Each one had its own charm and特点. The first story, although I found it a bit lacking, still had some interesting elements. The second story's happy ending felt a bit too predictable and unexciting. However, the last poem really stood out. It had a certain magic and beauty to it that made it my favorite.


The illustrations throughout the book added another layer of depth and interest. They were so well done and really brought the stories to life. I could imagine the characters and scenes vividly in my mind as I looked at the illustrations.


Overall, my experience with these children's stories by Sylvia Platt was a positive one. Despite the flaws in some of the stories, the overall charm and the wonderful illustrations made it a worthwhile read.

Or a Jet-propelled Bed
For visiting Mars
With mosquito nets
For the shooting stars.



The Bed Book, while not quite on the same level as The Sleep Book (undoubtedly the greatest book on this green Earth), still managed to bring a sense of delight. The various beds described were both奇特 and有趣. The snack bed, for instance, was a bit on the creepy side. Who in their right mind would want to sleep on a pillow made of bread? However, the illustration of the happy mice running away with a cupcake was undeniably cute. I, for one, would pass on the vending machine bed. Instead, I long for the bird-watcher's adored bed, a hammock suspended between two trees and beneath a canopy of cherry-thieving feathered friends. This book truly embodies the spirit of Dr. Seuss, and that is most definitely a good thing. Beds for everyone, whether it's for me, you, or even for two (as Morrissey once said, a double bed is the riches of the poor).


The It-Doesn't-Matter Suit was also rather charming. Although I can't imagine myself wearing a mustard yellow suit (thanks to someone I dislike who told me I looked nice in yellow, ruining the color for me forever), I have to give credit to Max Winkelburg for strolling down the street in his. Sure, the dogs might think he's a rubber chicken and chase him with watering mouths, but it doesn't matter because he's happy. I admire his confidence as he walks down the avenue with his entourage of hungry cats and dogs. It truly doesn't matter if you look like a grilled cheese sandwich.


The illustrations by David Roberts were a real highlight. The dogs with their hungry teeth were depicted perfectly, especially the portrayal of the wiener dogs.


However, Mrs. Cherry's Kitchen wasn't my favorite part of the book. I used to have a similar fantasy inspired by Fantasia, where Mickey makes the mops and brooms do his bidding. But I just know that if I could talk to appliances, it would end badly for me. Maybe by the time I reached this part of The Bed Book, I was already feeling sleepy. After all, there were so many appliances in the book, from ovens for toasting feet to tanks to drive (watch out, hungry doggies!). I don't even own a toaster. When you have a comfortable bed to sleep in, who needs all that other stuff?

It was an extremely sweet children's book.

Specifically, the second story was really beautiful.

The illustrations in the book were also very charming, vividly bringing the stories to life.

The language used was simple and easy for children to understand, yet it managed to convey deep emotions and valuable lessons.

Each page was filled with colorful images that captured the attention of young readers and made them eager to turn the page and find out what happened next.

The first story was also interesting, but it was the second one that truly stood out.

It had a unique plot and characters that the children could easily relate to.

Overall, this children's book was a wonderful read that would surely delight both children and adults alike.

All the way to Mars, although it may not seem so.


Meanwhile, in the network, many falling stars will be trapped for it.


This is a magical book about beds of various shapes and possibilities ✌️ and even more charming fairy tales with lovely illustrations.


I would most like to see this book in my bookshelf at home.

This was a truly adorable and concise collection of children's stories. It vividly showcases the remarkable talent of Sylvia Plath, demonstrating her ability to pen a diverse range of prose. Each of the three stories is distinct in its writing style.

'The Bed Book' is a delightful poem that captivates the reader with its charming rhythm and imagery.

'The It-Doesn't-Matter Suit' follows the classic repetitive pattern similar to that of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, making it engaging and easy for children to follow.

'Mrs Cherry's Kitchen', on the other hand, is a more fantastical tale, featuring enchanting pixies and anthropomorphic kitchen appliances that bring the story to life in a magical way.

If you are a devoted fan of Plath's work, this collection is most definitely worth reading. It offers a unique glimpse into her creative mind and her ability to craft stories that appeal to readers of all ages.

If I could write a children's book, this should be it.

It would be a magical adventure filled with colorful illustrations and engaging stories.

The characters would be lovable and relatable, teaching kids important values along the way.

There would be tales of friendship, courage, and kindness, inspiring young readers to be their best selves.

The book would take them to far-off lands, introduce them to new cultures, and spark their imagination.

It would be a place where they could escape and have fun, while also learning valuable life lessons.

Whether it's before bedtime or on a rainy day, this children's book would be a cherished companion for kids of all ages.

It would bring joy and laughter to their faces and leave a lasting impression on their hearts.

This is the kind of children's book that I would love to write, and I hope it would bring as much happiness to others as it does to me.

In this book, there are three short stories: The Bed Book, The Dress That Doesn't Matter, and Mrs. Cherry's Kitchen.

When I read the first story, that is, The Bed Book, I didn't understand much (I guess it's because of the translation).

I really liked the second story, that is, The Dress That Doesn't Matter, and I finished it right away. It told about a mustard-yellow dress that arrived by mail at a family with seven children and who would take it.

The last story that gave the book its name, that is, Mrs. Cherry's Kitchen, I liked the most among the others. It told about the tools in Mrs. Cherry's kitchen not being satisfied with their tasks and wanting to change their tasks.

It was really a very nice book. I recommend it to those who like short and interesting stories.

This book contains 3 stories for children (I would say of preschool age), or rather, two tales and a nursery rhyme. They are written very well. It is not easy to write books for children, and the younger they are, the more difficult it becomes to write beautiful and meaningful ones. However, for this wonderful and skillful writer, it was simple.

Another reason to read this particular collection is that it covers an aspect of Sylvia Plath's personality that was not shown in the rest of her literary output.

We can see a different side of her through these charming stories for children. It gives us a new perspective on this renowned writer. The stories are not only entertaining but also have hidden meanings and values that can teach children important lessons.

Overall, this collection is a must-read for both children and adults who are interested in exploring the different facets of Sylvia Plath's talent.

When lying on the bed in a light sleep state, it felt so good.

The power of imagination is amazing.

I could picture all kinds of wonderful scenes in my mind.

Maybe it was a beautiful beach with clear blue water and soft white sand.

Or a peaceful forest filled with the sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling.

In this light sleep, I was able to escape from the hustle and bustle of the real world and enter a world of my own creation.

It was a place where anything was possible and where I could relax and unwind completely.

The feeling was truly indescribable.
