![]() ![]() The child tosses the ball, the dog scratches, the mouse climbs down the pitcher handle, the cat fixates on something on the window, and Granny, in bed, looks sleep-deprived. ![]() The mouse hides at the top of a mirror over a wash basin bowl and pitcher set. ![]() The dog, under the bed, cocks one eye and observes the boy retrieving a ball from under a chair. ![]() The next full-bleed spread offers a close-up of the interior of Granny's bedroom, with Granny and the cat at the window as seen from behind, as the moon begins to rise. In the first full view of the full-moon house, bathed in moonlight, Granny stands at her bedroom window with the cat beside her. Where the original story opened on a rainy day and took youngsters inside "a napping house,/ where everyone is sleeping," this new episode features a clear night sky and "a full-moon house,/ where everyone is restless." Parents, teachers and children will thrill to the reprise of the House-that-Jack-Built structure and pore over the ways in which it mirrors the characters and events in the original book. More than 30 years after the publication of their now classic The Napping House, the husband-and-wife team of Audrey and Don Wood deliver a companion cumulative picture book that will vie for top spot at story hours and bedtime alike. ![]()
