Narrative In Favor Of Books The Napping House
Everyone knows the cumulative rhyme “This Is the House That Jack Built,” but The Napping House (1984) is close on its heels in the race for posterity: “And on that granny / there is a child / a dreaming child / on a snoring granny / on a cozy bed / in a napping house, / where everyone is sleeping.” Included in the napping house menagerie is a dozing dog, a snoozing cat, a slumbering mouse, and a wakeful flea who ends up toppling the whole sleep heap with one chomp! Don Wood’s delightfully detailed comical illustrations are bathed in moonlight blues until the sun comes up, then all is color and rainbows and a very awake household.

Summary: The book The Napping House starts on a rainy night with a house, which has a cozy bed in it where a granny is sleeping. Since the bed is a cozy bed, everyone wants to sleep in it. Throughout the beginning of the book, one by one a child, dog, cat, and a mouse all pile on top of the granny while sleeping. They are all cozy in the bed until a flea climbs on top of the mouse. Instead of the flea being sleepy like everyone else the flea is wide-awake and bites the mouse that wakes up,Cute.
Best 12 bucksI bought this. For no real actual reason. 12 bucks on kindle. Worth it. Kinda. Why does this need more words.
I thought this book was so cozy, cute and funny, simple and adorable. We see a house asleep at night. The bed starts out with grandma snoring and then the grandchild gets on top of her and the dog on top of him and the cat on top of the dog and finally the mouse tops it all off. A flea bits the mouse and each page shows them waking up.Like I said, simple, but simply marvelous. I would like to own this for the sheer joy of it. Sheer joy.The nephew loved this story. He thought them sleeping on
I love the snoring granny! And I love the slow build up to the wakeful flea, and the expressions on faces of the cat and the dog upon being landed on. Poor dog, he really gets clawed! A perfect storytime book.
This is a wonderful book! (Im so glad I returned the board book the library first gave me and borrowed & instead read this hardcover edition.)This is a really fun cumulative tale that is very amusing, and the illustrations are superb, really special. I love the cozy bed, the snoring granny, the dreaming child, the dozing dog, the snoozing cat, the slumbering mouse, and even the wakeful flea, and the daytime nap and what ends the nap.This is highly enjoyable story to read aloud.
