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)

I donated some books at the station book swap a while back and I came home with some too. Always the way. I was obsessed with SARK in my late teens and used to own this tagged book.

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
