The Napping House, Audrey and Don Wood: Everyone is napping and granny is snoring until one surprise leads to another and wakes up the house!
Written by Audrey Wood, illustrated by Don Wood. Stated first edition, 1984. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.
Granny, a child, a dog, and a cat are all napping, until a mouse joins in by surprise and wakes up the house.
"There is a house,
a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping.
"And in that house
there is a bed,
a cozy bed
in a nappy house,
where everyone is sleeping.
"And in that bed
there is a granny,
a snoring granny
on a cozy bed
in a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping."
Audrey and Don Wood have collaborated on many delightful children's picture books, as writer and illustrator, including Elbert's Bad Word, which is also available at The Charmed Bookshop.

This book tells the story of a snoring granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, a snoozing cat, and a tiny slumbering mouse, all piled on top of each other, in a cozy bed. But then an unexpected visitor, (a flea) arrives to interrupt a rainy afternoon in the Napping House. Full color. This story is told with repetitive verse and humor. It is one of my favorite children's books The Book was packed well and shipped quickly! Wonderful shop. Great seller. My book was gift wrapped!
