Alex's mum has the perfect solution to her small son's lack of space, and hence chaotic room - an elevated bed - or so she thinks. But ingenious though she is, it is Alex who wins the day: he is 'one little problem she never could solve.' Cherry, detailed pictures underline the gentle comedy of the tale.
