Narrative Conducive To Books The Napping House
Everyone knows the cumulative rhyme “This Is the House That Jack Built,” but The Napping House (1984) is close on its heels in the race for posterity: “And on that granny / there is a child / a dreaming child / on a snoring granny / on a cozy bed / in a napping house, / where everyone is sleeping.” Included in the napping house menagerie is a dozing dog, a snoozing cat, a slumbering mouse, and a wakeful flea who ends up toppling the whole sleep heap with one chomp! Don Wood’s delightfully detailed comical illustrations are bathed in moonlight blues until the sun comes up, then all is color and rainbows and a very awake household.

I thought this book was so cozy, cute and funny, simple and adorable. We see a house asleep at night. The bed starts out with grandma snoring and then the grandchild gets on top of her and the dog on top of him and the cat on top of the dog and finally the mouse tops it all off. A flea bits the mouse and each page shows them waking up.Like I said, simple, but simply marvelous. I would like to own this for the sheer joy of it. Sheer joy.The nephew loved this story. He thought them sleeping onAdorable and funny! The illustrations are superb and there is repetition, cumulative sentences, causes and effect, perfect! :)
This is a book that has been one that is picked over and over...giggles and twinkling eyes bubble up to become laughter that tumbles out time after time. Hugs follow...and memories are made. Priceless.
I love this children's short story. I love the little boy. The dog. The granny. The cat. The mouse. And I even like the flea. I love the words. And I especially love the awesome pictures.
Cute.

Next to "The Going to Bed Book", this is my favorite children's book that I read to Noah every chance I get. Even though I read it to him when I am putting him down for a nap, it talks about a house full of napping people waking up... maybe that is why he only takes 40 minutes naps!!! Oh well, still a great book with great pictures!
