The Napping House Big Book

Ages 2+ / Toddler

Cumulative rhymes are reassuring – they soothe and amuse and stay with us throughout our lives. This gentle story about “a napping house” will do all those things. It’s a simple tale – just a cozy bed, with a snoring granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, a snoozing — but wait! There’s a surprise, a delightful surprise, in store, and the youngest listeners will want to hear it again and again. Superb full-color illustrations bring the quiet moments and small scenes to life with variety and grace. They supplement the tale, filling in charming details that go beyond the story and reflect a change in weather as well as in mood. Furry pets you yearn to stroke, floppy pillows, wet raindrops, and big, sleepy yawns all convey the essence of the rhymes and make them memorable. Together author and illustrator have created a classic treasure for children and their children’s children. By Audrey Wood, Illustrated by Don Wood. Measures 16″ x 18″.
