Add a CommentThe Napping House, written by Audrey Wood, follows the story of a narcoleptic family sharing a nap on a bed. This story is a classic and I think it is very funny. This book is really good for kids and follows a reparative rhythm that is absolutely adorable. I really liked this book as a kid and it had proven to age well. I would recommend this book to the age groups of 4-6 because it is a very fun read and I am sure that they will love it.
Such beautiful illustration! What a fun read that causes you to want to find the house that Jack built. This was equally as endearing.
An easy read with lots of repetition for early readers
A grandma, a boy, a dog, a cat and a mouse are taking a peaceful nap when a wakeful flea causes havoc.
Cute and silly , lovely illustrations
Goes perfectly with a yoga-themed storytime. You can do a yoga pose for each of the characters in the story!
Works well for all ages. Beautiful artwork and cute tale.
Fun to read and for child to point at things
Thoroughly delightful for kids of all ages. The rhythm of the words along with the illustrations make this book a great read for you and your little ones.
Loved the illustrations. Fun to read about cause and effect & family.
