Great Book for My Grandchild
The Treasure Pamela June Cohen
This story is simply told about a child who wants a new bed but becomes disappointed when her mother finds a bed at a second hand store instead of buying it at a furniture store where she had seen the most loveliest of beds. No matter how much the mother tries to explain her ideas to her daughter, she refuses to see the vision she holds in her mind for the bed, and in so doing, might miss out on something very special.
The Treasure Bed teaches children to look beyond what they see and to dig deeper. A tarnished bed may appear ugly on the outside but with a little bit of work and some creativity, beauty can be found very easily. Many things are not what they seem, people and items can hide their true beauty, but for one that looks deep enough they will be rewarded. This story has a subtle message, but one that is very important to all readers. Young children will love the colorful illustrations while learning a valuable lesson.

I bought this book for my grandchild. She enjoyed it because the narrative resonated with her. She also was entranced by the illustrations. I appreciated the quality of the writing, the adjectives were poetic. The book had a lesson to be learned, but the lesson was subtly set out. This is the type of book that can be read over and over again to or by a child.
