The Napping House by Audrey Wood, Illustrated by Don Wood
I love this book! Kids love this book as well! The story is so cute. A Grandma is napping on a bed and then all sorts of things start to nap on top of her, including a dog and a mouse. Then a flea comes along and.....you'll have to read it to find out! The illustrations are amazing. I love the lighting in them because it gives such a sense of peace and rest. Then as the book goes on it gets lighter and lighter until....you'll have to read it to find out! It's fun for children because there are lots of ways to embellish it. It would be fun to predict what happens, to add your own animals and creatures to the mix, and to write your own version. It's predictable enough that even small children pick up the patterns and can help read, yet it also has a fun element of surprise. This is a must-have for every children's book collection. I definitely recommend it!
Rating: G (Completely clean!)
Recommendation: Great for all ages!
