The Napping House | Audrey Wood
33 posts | 41 read | 4 to read
Delightful cumulative rhyme leads up to the consequences of piling too many sleepy people and animals in a cozy bed. Don Woods paintings endow Audreys familiar plot with beauty and newness, conveying atmosphere as well as illustrating the story.--Publishers Weekly

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.

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

LauraLeighn would be easy to do since the slower the read the more students can join in the choral reading. By using UDL strategy 3.2 Highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships you can encourage students to see the patterns in the book which will help them feel more comfortable participating. Carol Hurt (who runs a children‘s literature site) has an entire page dedicated to different teaching methods and lessons to go along with 4y
Mazzole18 Laura,
This is a great book to read for storytelling. I have used it with a puppet and with felt pieces. Your UDL strategy fits nicely and I appreciate your resources for the book.

DrSpalding You did such a beautiful job with this storytelling. Incorporating ASL worked beautifully. 4y

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 :)
#ucflae3414su20

CameoD UDL principle 2.2 aligns well with this book because it can be used to teach syntax, repetition and structure in a classroom. Using Esol strategy 14 would be great with this book, if you slowed down pace, it would emphasize rhythm and structure. 4y
Viviannef What a great book! This story would work great as a S and a RA, children love this book! You‘ve chosen great UDL principles that includes repetition which is great for EL students. You‘ve also chosen a good ESOL strategy for slowing down the pace of the book. Great post Cameo, don‘t forget to include a resource :) 4y
CameoD This is a cute little math lesson to incorporate after reading the book to the class. It asks how many feet are in the bed, in total, after all the sleepy sleepers are piled up. https://www.k-5mathteachingresources.com/support-files/the-napping-house.pdf 4y
DrSpalding Your peer noted storytelling or read aloud! This is a great story for incorporating math. What a helpful resource 4y

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.

👇🏻

LibrarianRyan And those dreams
Shall be so short
The shortest dreams
Of a day shutdown
Of a reading app
Where everyone is waiting.

And when we wake
Around a lunch time break
Oh can it be
The dream is done
The fun begun
On a reading app
Where we are no longer waiting.

Sweet dreams. See you after lunch.

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.

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

MeganMc This link actually takes you where I found the cut outs of these characters. In the website it has many other different activities uses the characters and it is definitely worth checking out. 6y
MeganMc The UDL for this is 1.2 offer alternatives for auditory information because you‘re using the visuals as you read. The EL would be 46 use discovery learning activities (hands-on-activities). 6y
Juliemorell What a cute S idea!! Thanks for providing the link to where you got the cut outs. It's amazing how many resources are already available! 6y
DrSpalding Love the image! This is an excellent choice for storytelling. Adding each character to the bed is a visual hook as you tell the story. Students need to recall the sequence of a story; it's a standard. 6y
DrSpalding You did a very nice job in your storytelling working under an extreme time crunch. Please use this with students. 6y

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.

Bookzombie Aww, are you in your new house? When does the furniture come? 7y
LibrarianRyan Yep. Second floor of new house. I was amazed Dali made it up there. She hates stairs. Outdoor furniture comes tomorrow. Inside furniture comes on the 23rd. Today we go mattress shopping. I refuse to move the mattress we have now. The main bedroom is on the main floor but we had the carpet half up to see the wood floors. @Bookzombie (edited) 7y
Cortg Congrats on the move! You might want to invest in an air mattress 😉 7y
LibrarianRyan @Cortg they left an old twin mattress upstairs. He has an army cot but refuses to use it. I picked out a new mattress today and am buying it tomorrow. 7y

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.

drokka The nook is cool. I'm concerned that in this one, there's not a lot of evidence of 'reading'. At mine, those other walls would be floor-ceiling shelving. 7y
