Description

With irresistible illustrations of a cozy pile of funny sleepers, The Fluffy Futon is both encouragement for bedtime and laugh-out-loud funny.

Grandma spreads her newly washed futon to dry in the sun. The futon is so soft and smells so clean! The cat can’t resist nestling down for a snooze. Instead of chasing it away, Grandma settles in alongside, soon followed by the hen and her chicks, a little boy, the dog, the goat, and the pig family. . . . Soon the whole household is taking a nap!

Until Grandma starts to find the futon so comfy that no one else can fit.
