This was so simple to act out- I asked the children to remember the characters of the story – as they recalled them, I passed out a necklace for each character. The illustrations are wonderful too – and it usually takes more than one reading for the children to notice the change of the weather in the story. Audrey included great vocabulary by adding an adjective to each character: I often used this book during our Healthy Me unit – when we talked about getting enough sleep at night.Īnother great use for this book is to teach descriptive language – it is a super resource for a writing mini-lesson on describing words. It is a simple, repetitive story that children love to hear and act out. The Napping House is a wonderful book for sequencing – and also to reinforce the story element – characters. I loved and used most of Don and Audrey Wood’s picture books. This is one of those books that I think most of you already use and love:
