Great reading for babies ( and their parents)

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017

As a former Professor of Children's Literature now retired, I promised my Great Grandchildren at birth, that I would provide them each with 10 age and interest appropriate books each year. The Napping House was one of 20 starter board books for my two newest Greats! I loved it as a Professor and hope my babies will enjoy it as well.

Damaged

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2022

Bought the book new for a baby shower, the pages were bent, scratched, sticky and frayed. I’ve requested a replacement and am hopeful.

The story itself is so cute and fun so my review is not about the story itself, but the condition of the books condition.

Great board book for toddlers!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2019

One of my favorite books! My toddler son loved it and I think one of the greatest
Things about this book is the repetition (toddlers thrive off repetition!). The illustrations from the original are greatly transferred into a thick board book. It’s the full version (not an abridged version like other books that are made into board books).

Good buy!

Bigger than expected (in a good way), beautiful illustrations. The exterior is squishy and will damage easily, mine came with a dent. I won't worry about exchanging it as I see it easily getting more over the years, due to it being pillow-y and not a hard cover.

Missing a page but this book is a classic!

THIS BOOK IS A CLASSIC! Absolutely must have I love it so much!

I’m not sure if this was a defect in this particular book but the part after the mouse with the flea completely skipped the flea 🤷🏼‍♀️

I know this because I have this book memorized and we also have it in paperback and it’s missing. Thankfully it’s just my toddler so he doesn’t notice nor care but it’s not accurate.

This is a fun book for for small children (ages 2 - 5). Wonderfully written with great illustrations.

I loved this book when I read it to my granddaughter in the late 1980's. It is fun and the illustrations are beautiful. I wanted to get one for a friend that has her first grandchild, that is 3 years old, and loves her grandmother to read to her. The illustrations on each page or perfect for the story being told and it is a fun book. The only thing I was disappointed in is that the coloring of the pages is darker and flatter than the original book - but if you never saw the original - it's not a problem. The artwork is perfect, the color is okay, and the story is lots of fun.

Sweet book

I chose to purchase this as a used book. I was a little uneasy, because I couldn't assess the shape it was in before purchasing, but I needn't have worried. The book is in very good shape. Even the dust cover was in great condition. Not a tear or fold. The only flaw is a tiny tear on one page, which I can fix. It's a lovely, very short story about an entire household, humans and animals and even an insect ending up in one bed.

WHAT A DELIGHTFUL LITTLE BOOK

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

Believe it or not, our eye doctor recommended this book to us! The minute we got home from his office, , I checked on Amazon.com and sure enough, there it was. I ordered one, which I thought I would keep for myself (I collect all children's books that have a reference to "Granny" because that's what I am to our grandkids). I figured I'd just read it to the little ones when they came to visit. The first one I read it to (4 years old) liked it so much that he took it home with him, and I had to order another one for me! Now I'm anxious to order the sequel. Our oldest granddaughter is a kindergarten teacher, and I can't wait to show it to her. Odds are that she'll want one for herself to share with her students. What a delightful little book.

One of my all time favorite children's books!

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2021

I love Audrey and Don Woods for their children's books - the humor and the illustrations. When giving this book to my friends I did have to note that it's lacking diversity. It was written a while ago. I'll look at their others and find another one to go with this one when I give it again. Which I will. Give it again. It is so clever and as a parent I didn't mind reading it again and again and again....

Highly recommend!

We have 10 grandchildren, and I have read this book many, many times to the. There is nothing more precious than curling up with a child to read, and this one has been a favorite. I have also bought many copies of this book to give as gifts, usually along with a crocheted baby afghan. Goes together perfectly! I highly recommend this book, not only for the sweet story but also for the amazing artwork. I love it, and think you and yours will too.

Gorgeous Book

I just love the illustrations in this book, and the repetition in the story. Big fan of Audrey & Dan Wood. I was pleased when my 2 year old recently decided this was her new go-to bedtime book. She loves to find the flea on every page.
