Buy it: No Jumping on the Bed!

No Jumping on the Bed! (By Tedd Arnold) – Walter lives near the top of a tall apartment building and loves to jump on the bed. But his dad warns him not to jump on the bed because one day it will crash right through the floor. Walter lays down to go to sleep. But when his dad leaves the room, Walter starts to jump on the bed again. He jumps so high his hair brushes the ceiling and when he lands Walter and his bed go crashing through the floor. The story has a fun rhythm to it, because as Walter crashes through each apartment below his, his neighbors – along with their TVs, pets and spaghetti dinners, coming crashing down along with him. Then Walter realizes it was all a dream and vows not to jump on the bed again. And that’s when his upstairs neighbor, who always jumps on the bed, comes crashing through the ceiling.
