I really enjoyed reading this story, this is one of my favorites. I was able to relate to this as a child and am still able to relate to this story as an adult. I love how the illustrations make it seem like we are actually in the napping house. I also love the sequence of events in this story. The use of color also plays an important role in building the events of the story.

This is a good book for children to develop a sense of order of events. The book uses a familiar setting, a home with a granny and pets. The illustrations of the book are amazingly detailed, they use color to show whether the creatures in the house are sleeping or not. The illustrator also uses texture to show the different actions and materials that are in the story.

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

At the beginning the story line is being built and the amount of words on the page are more than before. Then the story takes a turn making its way to the conclusion the words on the pages become less and less. The color used in the pictures are more bright and cheerful and speak louder than words.

The Napping House by Audrey Wood and illustrated by Don Wood. This story is a classic childhood story. The colors used in the illustrations are cool and gloomy at the beginning of the story. As the story goes on the colors used become a little bit lighter and little more cheerful. The angle that the illustrations are viewed by the reader throughout the book allows them to view the story from a different perspective.

You expect a retired elementary school teacher to choose JUST ONE PICTURE BOOK???

The napping house by Audrey wood: The repetitive storytelling (which makes it so much fun to add drama and play acting) but the illustrations. 😍😍😍

Love you forever by Robert Munsch (always makes me cry. It was the first book I read to my son. He was 1 day old).
There‘s a monster at the end of this book. (Read to every child in my family)

Author: Aubrey Wood
Illustrator: Don Wood
Genre: Realistic Fiction
How peaceful must it be to be in a house where “everyone is sleeping”. The Napping House is a realistic fiction book that tells the story of a family all piled on a bed to take a nap. This book would be great for Choral Reading(CR) since it has highly repetitive phrases that students can quickly pick up on. ESOL strategy 14 Simplify your speech by making it slower and redundant

The Napping House by Audrey Wood is a marvelous book about a house where every creature is napping on top of one another. A cat on top of a dog, a mouse on top of a cat, and a flea on top of a mouse. All is peaceful, until the flea bites the mouse, then the mouse disrupts the cat. Will anyone really get a peaceful nap? Read to find out :)

There is an app
A reading app
Where everyone is waiting

And in that app
There are some woes
Some fretful woes
In a reading app
Where everyone is waiting.

And for those woes
Of a shutdown loom
A shutdown loom
Of a reading app
where everyone is waiting

That shutdown comes
While most us dream
A fretful dream
Of a long shut down
Of a reading app
Where everyone is waiting.

4⭐️ My first day as a children‘s librarian I was handed this book, and was told it would be the most important picture book in my story tellers bag. And so it has been. It's a story that builds to a crescendo and then comes tumbling down. It‘s about bedtime at grandmas house.

He calls this his napping house. The yellow blocks were his Christmas present - called fort builders. They‘re awesome. Here he is reading some easy readers. 💕 #raisingreaders

The napping house was such a great book. This modern fantasy book written by Audrey Wood was a great story to read. I loved the illustration and the story.

This RF is a pick for me ! Creating visuals for this pb would be a great story telling craft for the class. udl:1.2 and EL:46 for the crafty side of class. This story is great for learning chronological order of the sequence of everyone in the napping house. Couldn‘t get any cuter for a bedtime read as well! Awards a golden kite medal this is a must. #ucflae3515f17

The Napping House is an adorable RF. This book is a Golden kite winner for picture books and I can see why. I would use this story as a S(as you see my plan in the picture ;) ). I know students would love it! #UCFLAE3414f17

You‘re babysitter for life when you‘re the aunt. Because the Bebe knows the stakes are nonexistent.

The little is napping and all three cats are in bed. What else is there to do but crawl in for a little nap myself? Lazy Saturdays are a gift

Apparently I have hit the age where I am too old to sleep on the floor. Also it is a really uncomfortable way to read. #newhouseproblems say hi to Dali and Josh.

Half an hour at the dog park. Peace.

Trying to be more involved and looking for more photo opportunities (not selfies! But photo learning) so joining this challenge and posting here and on Instagram. With a really blurry #shelfie of my favorite book from when I was a kid. #riotgrams

UM. I'm watching HGTV as I get ready this morning and on Custom Built they just did a custom reading nook and I'm DYING! How amazing is it?!

The American was tying his tie as we both watched the reveal, and I guarantee he saw the look in my eyes.
"I'm leaving before you start knocking down more walls, " he said, kissing me and walking out.
"A reading nook wouldn't need walls knocked down!" I called after him.

The boys' #LibraryStack for tomorrow's #readathon. Nathan (3yo) asked the librarian for help finding books on butterflies and Simon (almost 2yo) picked books almost as big as he is!

Lunch and a nap 😴 at the bookstore today. This isn't his first nap at a bookstore and it won't be his last. #thumbsucker #bookstorenap #bookbabies #bookeater

"... In the napping house, where everyone is sleeping."

Love the illustrations --- the use of light is amazing. My daughter loved to look for the flea on each page and make predictions about what would happen next.

At 6 months old, my child already has a favorite book... We read it almost every other day and he always smiles at "a snoozing cat, on a dozing dog."
