Have you ever watched a five year old try to make his bed? It's quite the overwhelming task, and when Bradley continually ends up with a lump right in the middle of his bed, he becomes very imaginative about what might be under his covers to create the lump. But the fun begins when his mother gets caught right in the middle of his wild imagination!

As a little girl attempts to make her bed, fabulous fantasies appear one after the other, making lumps where lumps shouldn't be! No matter how hard she tries, the work she does becomes undone by pirates, airplanes, race cars, and more. What can possibly be responsible for this thrilling, yet mind-boggling, mystery? Delightful illustrations by Sandra Hoover bring this charming story to life.
