“where everyone is sleeping“
I think students will love seeing the various people and animals piling on top of each other and then all falling once the story reaches it's climax.

Audrey Wood‘s The Napping House (1984) is a playful cumulative tale perfect for young readers. Don Wood‘s soft, dreamlike illustrations are key to its charm, using shifting light and cozy details to show the drowsy calm turning into chaos. Each layered sleeper is drawn with humor and warmth, and the changing art mirrors the text‘s rhythm, making the buildup lively and engaging.

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.
