Reviews:

A Big Kid Bed is Coming worked perfectly, thank you!!

This book was INCREDIBLE and worked absolutely perfectly for my 3-year-old boy/girl twins. Many books show a kid giving excuses for why they don’t want to be in a big kid bed, which a child can copy. In this book, the sweet elephant shows the kid all the fun things you can do in bed! I just added the book from this series with Louie eating veggies to my cart. I wish she wrote one for potty training. “Silly Louie” (as we lovingly call him) is a favorite in our house.

Before we transitioned my 2-year-old to a toddler bed, we bought multiple books to read to him about it. A Big Kid Bed is Coming is by far our favorite. Louie is a loveable character, and the rhyming is appealing for toddlers. It’s a cute story & goes over that he isn’t sleeping well in a crib & that mommy/daddy are building him a bed. He talks about how Louie is nervous, but with his “superhero powers,” he’s brave and gives it a try. Just overall, a cute story that hits all the important aspects of transitioning to a toddler bed.

We purchased this book in anticipation of our daughter going into her big kid's bed. She loves this book and requests it all the time. I love how it doesn’t talk about being “scary” to move to a big kid like several other books. It makes it an adventure instead and has a very positive message.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren: Liz has had a passion for art, creativity, and reading since she was a little girl. After graduating with a BA in Graphic Design and Fine Arts from The University of San Francisco, Liz decided she didn't want to work the typical 9-5 pm job. After many business ideas, tears, late nights and too much coffee - she started Louie's Little Lessons Publishing featuring a brave little elephant named Louie. The series was inspired after having her first child (1 of 3) as she found it difficult to find books that promoted courage while transitioning through tough childhood milestones (potty training, eating well, getting a new sibling, etc). She wanted her children to find their inner courage to embrace change because it was fun, not because they were being told it was something they had to do. Liz's book series has helped thousands of children across the globe and she hopes that it continues to inspire for a lifetime. Through our adorable, rhythmic book series, your child will learn: The importance of trying something new. That our courage lies within ourselves and we can access it at any time. The importance and benefits of curiosity and being open-minded. Overcoming new challenges can often lead to even more fun and adventure! The importance of being well-rested and staying in bed until morning time. How to find security with change in a new environment. That sleep is very important for everyone and allows us to have more fun when we're awake. The importance of consistency. That every challenge becomes easier with time. The amazing feeling of victory, especially when accomplished by oneself.
