by Audrey Wood and Don Wood
Audrey Wood and Don Wood make a great team. With Audrey’s storytelling skills and Don’s artistry, they’ve created The Napping House, a story about exactly that. A house in which everyone is napping. That is, almost everyone. A wakeful flea is about to take a little bite out of someone and very soon the house won’t be full of people napping anymore.
This story has a been a favorite lately. It's an engaging story that encourages lots of interaction. The story offers some fun vocabulary, such as thump, bump, slumbering, snoozing and dozing. We've also discussed "who is between, on and under another character. And then there was the challenge to add up all the feet in the napping house. That was no small feat! And of course on every page we must locate the wakeful flea!
The colors and style by Don Wood change during the course of The Napping House. Things start out nice and sleepy, full of blues and purples and windows wet with rain. Eventually the story lightens as the sun comes out and the rain goes away.
I like that J
