Micah and the Magic Mattress

By Alvern Bunn Jr. (2012)








This was a cute story that I found on my iPad.  I really wanted to search for authors that I had never heard of this week so I did a little digging.  This story was about a boy named Micah who had played hard all day long and it was finally bed time.  As soon as he fell asleep his mattress came alive and out the window they went to a land far away.  He flew into space where he saw cows in spacesuits, saw flying cars and talking fruits!  He even got to go to a special island and see dinosaurs.  Then it was time to wake up and he couldn't figure out if it was real or just a dream, that is until his mattress told him that it had really happened.

This was a fun story that younger elementary students would enjoy.  The author made some of the words rhyme and it would just capture their attention.  I really enjoyed branching out and finding new authors to read.  The only downfall about this book it that it is only available on the iPad.  You could read this book to your class, but you would have to have an iPad to do so.  A positive thing about it was that it was free, so it wouldn't cost you anything to download it and have it in your iPad library.
