Where is everybody? It's time to play. Lift the flaps to find the family in some very surprising places!
Sunday morning. No school today. But where is everybody? Still in bed – and not the beds you might expect! The cat and kittens are in the laundry basket. The dog and puppies are in the cat’s bed. And in the dog’s bed? Baby brothers! There’s only one bed where the right people are to be found – Mum and Dad’s. So, come on everybody, that’s where all the family’s going to play!

Reviews
This is a lovely family story of waking up and spending time together. Told in catchy rhyming text which encourages prediction by even very young readers, and also supports guessing of what is under the flaps on some of the spreads. Sturdy card stock and a toddler friendly size ensure this will withstand frequent loving (and reading!).
