(4) PS Illustrated by Joanna Yardley. Ben draws a train that transforms into a life-size locomotive conducted by the boy and his teddy bear. Their journey takes them from Ben's bed through country and city scenes (constructed from and populated by Ben's toys) to "In My Bed" station. The blue-toned watercolors' successful transition between fantasy and realism carry the rather trite rhyming text.
