Rendition 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.

The Napping House is one of Audrey Woods and Don Woods earlier childrens books and is probably one of their most peaceful books ever written. The Napping House was extremely popular back in the 80s for its numerous awards that it won which includes: the 1984 New York Times Best Illustrated Childrens Book, the 1984 Golden Kite Award from Society of Childrens Book Writers and the 1984 American Library Association Notable Book for Children. Audrey Woods lyrical writing is at its best as sheI thought this book was good I understand that its for beginning readers so theres lots of repetition in it. Im sure the younger kids would enjoy reading it because they would comprehend it.I would probably read it to my class and see what message they get out of it,if they even find one. Recommended to younger crowds(kindergarden etc..)
One of the cutest kids books ever. If you have kids, you need this book. My kindergarteners LOVED this book. I've probably read this book to kids 1000 times. It is really cute though!
Summary: The book The Napping House starts on a rainy night with a house, which has a cozy bed in it where a granny is sleeping. Since the bed is a cozy bed, everyone wants to sleep in it. Throughout the beginning of the book, one by one a child, dog, cat, and a mouse all pile on top of the granny while sleeping. They are all cozy in the bed until a flea climbs on top of the mouse. Instead of the flea being sleepy like everyone else the flea is wide-awake and bites the mouse that wakes up,
I love the comic illustrations and the hilariously funny story! :) This is my favorite children's book! :) I read it every year at least once.
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.
