The Napping House has been a bedtime favorite for the past twenty years. Everyone remembers that cozy bed, the snoring granny, the dreaming child, the dozing dog . . . and the unexpected visitor who wakes up the house on a rainy afternoon of napping.
The soothing rhythms and rhymes of The Napping House come to life in a new pairing of the hardcover book and a CD. The CD features a gentle reading of the story and six original songs for nap time and for playtime--and is sure to become a favorite for a whole new generation of fans.
Amazon.com: There is a house, a napping house, where everyone is sleeping.
"Everyone," in this case is a snoring granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, a snoozing cat, a slumbering mouse... and a wakeful flea! Uh-oh. Looks like the napping house won't be napping for long. With their very own brand of humor, Audrey Wood and Don Wood create an appealing bedtime book compatible with Margaret Wise Brown's classic Goodnight Moon. This small, square board book, with its rhythmic, repetitive text and witty pictures in shades of ever-brightening blues and greens (as the night turns to day), is sure to be a winner with preschool insomniacs. The sleepy household congregates on Granny's bed, slowly building a very relaxed pile of bodies in shifting positions. Young readers will enjoy tracking the critters as they make their way, one by one, to the bed--and then guessing what will happen when the wakeful flea joins the heap. Be sure to look for this author-illustrator team's other hilarious collaborative efforts, including Piggies and Silly Sally. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
The Napping House: Book and Musical CD The Napping House is my all time favorite book to give to new moms and grandmas!! It's fun to read and the illustrations are absolutely delightful!! A MUST HAVE for all young people's libraries!!
Baby Shower Gift! I give this at almost every baby shower I go to. The CD adds so much, and Audrey Wood has captured the rainy nap day perfectly.
Great book, great CD, great price = a GREAT present
the napping house I use this book with my preschoolers. Then we made up a song and props to go with it they realy enjoy this story. You can find them during the week retelling the story in the book centre.
Delightful I am a big fan of Audry and Don Wood. Their books are simply delightful.
A Beautiful Book I have this book in hardback, but wanted to give it to a family with young children. The colors and illustrations are just as clear as the hardback, but the book will hold up well when handled by the little ones!
