The Napping House

Goodnight, Moon has met its match. In Mia's eyes, at least. A couple of weeks ago, Sarah took Mia to the library and brought home The Napping House. I had never heard of it before, but boy was it a hit with Mia. She made me read it again and again and again. The style is called a "cumulative rhyme", and it is really soothing. It starts with a "snoring granny on a cozy bed", then a "dreaming child" climbs into bed, then a "dozing dog", etc. etc. Mia made me read it at least 5-6 times a day. Right before we went on vacation, I had to return the book to the library. Knowing that Mia was likely to declare World War III when she found out the book was gone, I went out and purchased a copy. During our cruise, I read it to Mia so many times, I now have it memorized.
If you haven't ever read it, I highly recommend it. A wonderful tale for winding down before a nap.
