The Napping House: Lap-Sized Board Book

Good for a young reader's home library

This book can be used in ways besides just reading aloud - it can be used for math lessons as well! The illustrations are a little dark and creepy, in my opinion, but well done and provide a little humor as the characters all pile into the bed for a nap, one on top of the other.

So Funny!

Five sleepy-heads having a good sleep, then comes along number 6 and all heck breaks loose. What a creative tale.

Wonderful Book!

This book is great I had it since I was young and now I am reading it to my own daughter who is 4 years old. I have had the book since 1988. It is wonderful!

This predictable book is great for emergent readers. The illustrations hold the readers attention throughout the lively story.

Most wonderful predictable book

I just love this book. The beautiful pictures and predictable story are perfect for little people learning to read and enjoy books. My nephews were given this book by me and my child now has it as well. Wonderful, simple book to add to your home library.

Beautiful Book!

The Napping House continues to be everyone's favorite in our house! With it's rhyming paragraphs, little children can learn the words, quickly. Encouraging them to love reading by 'reading' this book to you. Along with the reading, you can spend time finding where all the little creatures have moved in the room before it is even time for them to jump on Granny's bed! The illustrations can't be beat! They are as beautiful as a fine piece of art! This will be a family favorite!! Add this book to your family's library today!

Highly recommend this book, A Must Have for any child

My daughter bought this book for her neice when she was born. It has been her all time favorite book. She's five now and enjoys it as much as she did the first time she heard it. Have bought a copy of this book for everyone I know who had been pregnant since. They have all said how much they enjoy this book too.

An exciting read

I found this to be a delightful tale giving examples of mood and action. The story is exciting and the illustrations are right on target. The style of the writing (the rhyme scheme used) and illustrations (watercolors) renders the book adorable by any reader of any age.

a very cute rhyming story

Brings back memories of "The House That Jack Built" which was one of my childhood favorites.

Super book!

3-year-old goddaughter loved this book as did her older siblings.

fun story

it's better than I expected. I'm happy I bought it.

Great Story

This is a wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. My 1st graders love reading this story and discovering who will be joining the pile of napping people/animals on the bed next. Audrey Wood's fantastic story telling skills are put to good use in this book. I highly recommend it and all others written by her. This book will keep you and your children coming back for more time and time again.

A Fun and Funny Read

It is a fun story and fun to read. My 2 year old granddaughter absolutely LOVES it! I love reading it to her, using special inflections that help to make the story even more interesting and fun to listen to; waiting to see what happens on the next page. Great Book! Highly Recommended!

The headline gave the basic idea of what the story was about, but didn't tell the reader everything. That was good! It created interest.

This was a great book for teaching children sequencing/order. It would be interesting for them not just the first time they read it, but to retell it later while trying to put the characters in logical order.

wonderfully done....

my 6 year old grandson loved this boy, amusingly done and very colorful.

Family Favorite

This book was one of my daughter's favorites when she was a littler girl. We read it over and over again. Now, my daughter is grown up and having a baby of her own so I am buying "The Napping House" for my new grandbaby. I pray that my daughter and her first born baby will enjoy the same special bonding time with this book as she and I had many, many years ago.

Favorite Book!!!

This is my favorite book to read to my girls. I wish I bought it sooner. It is so adorable.

For the kiddos!:)

My 18 month old love this book, she has nick names for all the characters. Also along with "Goodnight Moon" is a must buy for infants.

A must for every child

This fun tale makes everyone smile. The story as well as the illustrations are fabulous. I bought this book and another Audrey Wood and Don Wood book for my children when they were small and now purchase it for every baby shower and my daughter who babysits has often bought this as a gift for those she cares for.
