One Ted Falls Out of Bed 20th Anniversary Edition
Celebrate Julia Donaldson's much loved bedtime story, One Ted Falls Out of Bed turning 20 with this gorgeous anniversary edition, with a foil cover and a never before seen letter from the author.
Count up to ten and back down again in this perfect bedtime read-aloud. Poor Ted has fallen out of bed, only for three mischievous mice to whisk him off on a breathtaking adventure. They zoom around in fast cars, have tea with kind dolls, go on a balloon ride and climb a building-block mountain. It's all very exciting, but will Ted ever get back to his bed?
One Ted Falls Out of Bed's counting theme is woven perfectly into a magical, rhythmic text by former Children's Laureate, Julia Donaldson, and features gorgeous illustrations from Anna Currey.

"Another little miracle from Julia Donaldson" The Bookseller
"This is a counting book by the author of The Gruffalo, and our high expectations are rewarded. The story has layers of emotional ups and downs . . . The illustrations are endearing, with great depth and feeling: atmosphere oozes from the page" Books for Keeps
