Product Description
Product Description
We are the bedside toys. Do you ever stop to think what we go through, night after night, while you are sleeping? Every day they sit as still as stone but at night the bedside team come to life; scaring away bad dreams, squishing the bed bugs flat and even checking for monsters. It's hard work, but in the morning, when their owner awakes, the bedside toys are richly rewarded. With breathtaking illustrations and poignant text, this wonderfully atmospheric picture book is suffused with magic. 'Deacon is undoubtedly a welcome new talent.' - "Sunday Times". '[Deacon's] illustrations ...carry distant reminders of some of the best illustrators of the last 100 years and yet still remain uniquely his own.' - "Sunday Telegraph". 'Deacon's debut picture book displays admirable originality and draughtsmanship, and a great sense of humour.' - "Times on Slow Loris". 'Beegu is a story of remarkable pathos and its eponymous blobby character-is utterly beguiling.' - "Guardian on Beegu".
