5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars is not enough!!!!!, 13 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Napping House (Hardcover)
I've been a bookseller, librarian, mother and read-aloud volunteer and this is my absolute favorite children's book for curling up with and reading to a young child. Cumulative, predictable (something young children enjoy) and engaging, The Napping House is terrific. The child in the story could be a boy or a girl. It opens and closes with an inviting look at the exterior of an old fashioned home (which looks like the author's home, BTW). Inside the house, everyone is alseep, but there's soooo much going on here. The characters are changing positions. The changes in perspective and the light as the book progresses make it interesting. The illustrations are amazing, detailed, beautiful, and at the same time humorous. And the Granny! You've got to love this Granny. She there just snoring, wearing her bed cap, nightgown and stockings (with reinforced toes & heels). She has all of these characters piling up on her and when the bed breaks, instead of looking mad or alarmed, she just looks like she's having a grand time. After you get this book, you'll want King Bidgood's in the Bathtub, and Piggies also by the Woods. And if your child likes things a bit scary try Heckedy Peg. Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars There is a House,a Napping House,where everyone is sleeping., 15 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Napping House (Hardcover)
Not Long ago, I was at a pizza party at my High School. A classmate recited the entire story-in-rhyme to me. She had read it in the school library. Then I went and told Mrs Weyers, one of the teachers in the student club, about the book. She said that she loved that book. When her kids (now into their twenties) were little and their granny would visit, Granny would say, "It's time to be quiet, because this is the napping house." Mrs Weyers will be glad to know that it is still in print, because she desperately wants to acquire some copies in preperation for grandchildren someday.--Robert Metz

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, 6 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Napping House (Hardcover)
Another beautifully illustrated book that makes you feel like you are part of the story! I read this over and over to my son while he was potty training- it kept him interested even at two years and he sat very still while learning to potty! We have now memorized it!
