Does anyone remember reading a children's story either at school or at their local library, which was called "Ten in a Bed" and was written (and perhaps even illustrated) by Allan "Happy Families" Ahlberg? I borrowed a "talking book" version from the local library back in the mid to late 1980s and listened to it on a radio cassette recorder back then. I assume that as the protagonist was female, it would have been seen as a girls' book? Never mind if it was, but I was impartial back then, and still am, come to that. It was a story which was within "Words and Pictures" territory if you know what I mean.
The story was about a girl called Dinah Price and it is set at bedtime each evening - when she goes to bed, she finds some "guests" in her bed. One evening, she finds the Three Bears of Goldilocks fame. Another evening, she finds Sleeping Beauty there, and another evening, she finds a nursery rhyme character in there, etc. For some reason, the name "Dinah Price" came into my head yesterday, and I know that it has associations with a children's story from the past. I don't think I ever saw it in the Book Corner of the classroom, and it was in the library when I found out about it. I google Dinah's name and got an Amazon page which mentions the book in question.
Does anyone remember reading the book at their school or library, or even listening to the talking book version at home?
