Description

A cozy bed, a snoring granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, a snoozing–WAIT! There’s a surprise in store, and little ones will need to discover it over and over. So pull on your sleeping cap and snuggle in for a timeless cumulative tale that’s in point of fact like no other. Don and Audrey Wood’s beloved picture book has sold a couple of and a half million copies. To celebrate its birthday, the original hardcover book now has a fresh new design for both the jacket and interior, and the reproduction of the illustrations has been enhanced to better match the original artwork. Bonus downloadable audio begins with a reading of the story and follows with six original songs that are just as fun, jaunty, and sweet as the book itself. The music, originally produced in 1989, is based on the book and used to be written and performed by children’s musicians Carl and Jennifer Shaylen.

There is a house,
a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping.

“Everyone,” in this case is a snoring granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, a snoozing cat, a slumbering mouse… and a wakeful flea! Uh-oh. Looks like the napping house would possibly not be napping for long. With their very own brand of humor, Audrey Wood and Don Wood create an appealing bedtime book compatible with Margaret Wise Brown’s classic Goodnight Moon. This small, square board book, with its rhythmic, repetitive text and witty pictures in shades of ever-brightening blues and greens (as the night turns to day), is sure to be a winner with preschool insomniacs. The sleepy household congregates on Granny’s bed, slowly building a very relaxed pile of bodies in shifting positions. Young readers will enjoy tracking the critters as they make their way, separately, to the bed–and then guessing what is going to happen when the wakeful flea joins the heap. Make sure you look for this writer-illustrator team’s other hilarious collaborative efforts, including Piggies and Silly Sally. (Baby to preschool) –Emilie Coulter
