A Children's Book That I Love

Why do I love The Napping House by Audrey Wood?  It's simple: I love it because my students love it.  When students love something, especially a literary work, a teacher can find almost instant joy in allowing them access to it over and over and over again.  Each time we read this book (which, mind you, is at least twice a week) it just gets better and better!  New and improved sound effects come out, unseen illustrations POP out at you, and the giggles... well the giggles get gigglier!
