Book Reviews of The Napping House: Book and Musical CD

Book Review: all grown up
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this delightful books manys time years ago and parceled them out to my grandkids...and kept one for myself! As a writer/artist, I rate this one of the best children books to come out in decades.

One of my granddaughters, now in her first year college as a culinary arts major just won first prize in an annual "Books to Eat" contest (entrants make cakes on a book theme) that raises funds for the college library. The general public attends and votes the prize winners. The cakes are then auctioned off.

Well, guess who was on TV as the first place winner? Yep. My granddaughter = her theme was "The Napping House" - and her fantastic characters made of marzipan = granny, grandson, dog, cat all piled high in midst of blankets - are just phenomenal. (Her professor made the winning bid for her cake and presented it to her - she said she thought such a creation belonged with it's maker)

Summary of The Napping House: Book and Musical CD

The Napping House has been a bedtime favorite for the past twenty years. Everyone remembers that cozy bed, the snoring granny, the dreaming child, the dozing dog . . . and the unexpected visitor who wakes up the house on a rainy afternoon of napping.

The soothing rhythms and rhymes of The Napping House come to life in a new pairing of the hardcover book and a CD. The CD features a gentle reading of the story and six original songs for nap time and for playtime--and is sure to become a favorite for a whole new generation of fans.

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 won't 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, one by one, to the bed--and then guessing what will happen when the wakeful flea joins the heap. Be sure to look for this author-illustrator team's other hilarious collaborative efforts, including Piggies and Silly Sally. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
