The Napping House

The Napping House
by Audrey Wood
illustrated by Don Wood

This was one of my favorite books that my parents read to me when I was younger. After finding and reading this book again I can understand why it was one of my favorites. The illustrations in this children's picture book are so wonderful because they are playfully realistic with rich color. The text and story of this book are rather simple, but work to convey a playful story about a granny, a boy, and the rest as they take a nap on a rainy day. All is disturbed when a flea bites the sleeping cat and wakes up the whole bunch. All in all this children's book remains a great one and I will defiantly bring this into my elementary classroom.


Intended Age 4-8
