Book of the Week: Napping House
Don and Audrey Wood make a dynamite combo. We have a few of their picture books, but I think Napping House is my favorite. It's one of those books where the text builds, like This-is-the-House-that-Jack-Built, which seems to be a no-fail way to engage children in the story.
The text is charming, but the illustrations are amazing. The details are clever and the light in each illustration changes and brightens as the story progresses. The whole book is sweet and gentle and makes you smile. Really, really well done.
Widely available at any children's book store. Or you can find it here.

Love it! Piggys & King Bidgood's in the Bathtub by the same pair are our all time favorites!
