(4) K-3 Illustrated by Matt James. After a storm, a bed floats out to sea, happy to be rid of the smelly, snoring pirate who owned it. But soon the bed starts to miss having someone sleep in it and washes ashore; after it finds a grateful new owner, the bed's "happiness finally returned." The dreamlike story borders on wordy, but James's textured acrylic-paint and ink illustrations add visual interest.
