Summary: THe Napping House
Review: I love the Woods. The illustrations here are beautiful as ever; if a little subtle (unlike some other titles of theirs). They are also a little monotonous since almost the entire book takes place in the same room, same colors, same details with just one extra character subtly introduced on each page. My 22 month old is not impressed - maybe he's too young for this one. He LOVES 'Quick as a Cricket' and 'The Alphabet Adventure'.

Review: I love this book. I have read it to my group of children at storyhour at the library and to my own 2 and a half year old daughter. I read it every night at least once and my daughter has heard it so often, she now knows the book word for word. A must have for a childs bookcase!

Summary: Beautiful Illustrations
Review: I purchased this book primarily for the illustrations. They are absolutley magnificant. The story is fun too. I was disapppointed that this was the small hardbook for younger children. I thought it was the larger size. I recommend purchasing the larger size to appreciate the illustrations.

Summary: We loved this book! The Napping House wins in this house!
Review: I read this book to my 3 year old in the afternoon and then to my 5 year old at bed time. My little one remembered the whole book and started reciting the lines with me. Then the older one wanted to do it too. The first day we had this book we read it 7 times - until I was too tired to read anymore. They would have listend to it 100 times!

Review: I really like this book. The story and illustrations are hilarious. My younger brother and sister really enjoy this book too. This is one book that does not get annoying after reading it to them over and over. Audrey and Don Wood are a great team.

Summary: A Book My Son & I Love
Review: I think alot of great things have been said by the reviewers that have come before me, but I want to add my two cents! My toddler son just loves this book. He particularly loves to search for the flea and the mouse on each page--even though he now knows where they are! He never tires of hearing it and I never tire of reading it. A great purchase.

Summary: The Napping House
Review: I'm not sure exactly how to recommend this book. At the very beginning it's the perfect story to read to any child you want to put to bed. Halfway through, however, it becomes a lively rollicking/jumping/bouncing kind of tale. The premise follows a grandmother, her grandchild, a dog, a cat, a mouse and a flea as they all nap (save the flea) on a wet and rainy afternoon. Slowly, one by one they crawl on top of one another to sleep. Quickly, one by one, they wake one another due to the untimely flea bite the mouse acquired.Don Wood, the illustrator, has done wonders with the light in these scenes. The dreary drizzly afternoon pours steadily, making the reader really want to snuggle up in a warm bed too. Then also, his drawings are quite clever. Each character appears in every single spread. The flea is represented more as a circular black dot with a halo about it. Almost as if the flea was lit from inside. Kids will probably enjoy locating the mouse and the flea in each and every picture as the scenes change and the characters toss and turn in bed. In the end, I was particularly taken with the grandmother. Sleeping in her nylon-like socks, her reaction upon falling back upon her bed and breaking it is one of pure joy. Atta girl, grandma! In that second to last scene in the book, daylight streams into the room, the blue walls now a cheery and dazzling yellow. Any child uncertain of the benefits of napping (of which there may be one or two) will enjoy seeing how lively and boisterous the characters are after getting a good afternoon's rest. The last page of the book speaks volumes for the benefits of sleep. A marvelous story.
