The Napping House is a big board book for young readers. The story is written by Audrey wood and the beautiful, pastel illustrations have been done by Don Wood. It is about a granny who is sleeping in a cozy bed. Then a child gets on top of the sleeping granny and falls asleep, then a dog, a cat, a mouse, and a flea! By the end they have all done something to startle each other awake and they break the bed.
This story is written in the style of There was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly. The repetitive nature of the text is great for young readers. The Napping House is perfect for a read aloud and should be read a couple of times before the children catch on to the 'tune' of the story and can join in to recite the words as they read along.
