Baby Shower Gift!

2008-04-15
I give this at almost every baby shower I go to. The CD adds so much, and Audrey Wood has captured the rainy nap day perfectly.

Great book, great CD, great price = a GREAT present

I use this book with my preschoolers. Then we made up a song and props to go with it they realy enjoy this story. You can find them during the week retelling the story in the book centre.

Delightful

I am a big fan of Audry and Don Wood. Their books are simply delightful.

A Beautiful Book

I have this book in hardback, but wanted to give it to a family with young children. The colors and illustrations are just as clear as the hardback, but the book will hold up well when handled by the little ones!

Get the Large Board book of this

2007-11-18
The pictures in this are beautiful. However, I bought just the regular board book version of this, and you just can't appreciate the pictures enough. Try and get the large board book version if possible. The other book "Piggies" by Audrey and Don Wood is excellent in the large board book version as well. My 2 1/2 yr old girl loves both books.

A delightful romp!

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.

A delight...

This is a wonderful bedtime story that my daughter and I both love. The story book has illustrations that are a funny and just subtle enough for bedtime, and each page has rhyme that any child will love. Great, great bedtime story!!

This house loves the Napping House

This is a darling book! The Woods create such lively stories and pictures that my children have loved. We raised 4 kids who are now teenagers who fully enjoyed this book. Now, we're starting over with a new baby who sat still and attentive as I read every page of this book to her at three months of age! As a former English teacher, I can say with authority that this is a childrens' classic and a must-have.

cute story line

It has a cute, predictable story line. The illustration is top notch, with incredible attention to detail about time of day. My infant likes it, but it's not one of her favorites.

Repetition, repetition, repetition!

2007-09-04
I was a preschool teacher, and used this book a lot in my class because the children loved the repetition, and it was great for large group time! I recently ordered this book for my 1 year old son, and find it to be too long for him, and does not keep his attention like other board books, so we put it away until he gets a bit older. Happy Reading!
