The Napping House, By Don and Audrey Wood The Woods first caught my attention with King Bidgood's In the Bathtub and He Won't Get Out! when I was a little girl. As I searched for another book by this duo, I came across The Napping House, and remember reading this book before I went to bed as a little girl as well. I loved the different, fun illustrations that Don Wood does in all of their stories and I think that's what caught me with this one again. In this book, there are 5 slumberers who all find comfortable sleep on granny as they continue to pile onto her small bed throughout the night. At the end of the book, a flea starts a chain reaction and everyone wakes up to a beautiful sunny day.
This couple always seems to use such clever, fun storytelling to draw readers into their books. So much that I remembered them as storytellers even as an adult. Children will love the wit and humor that their books have, and will be just mesmerized by the amazing artwork of Don Wood.
