A boy who doesn't like getting out of bed in the morning drives his bed all the way into school.

Ben doesn't really do mornings. He would much rather stay tucked up in bed. So, when his mother calls that it's time for school, Ben does something totally different

he drives his bed down the stairs, through the kitchen, and off to school! On his journey, Ben learns the rules of the road and gives a friend a lift, but what will everyone think when he turns up at school in a bed?

The Boy Who Drove His Bed to School is a wildly imaginative and amusing story about having big ideas.
