Recommended age: 3+
Format: Softcover
The story starts on a rainy day, in a napping house, where granny is asleep on her bed. A child then falls asleep on top of granny, and a dog on top of the child, a cat on top of the dog, and a mouse on top of the cat. However, there is a flea that is awake in the room. The flea bites the mouse and in a chain reaction wakes everyone up and breaks the bed. This book starts with the house and slowly layers more and more things. The more things that are added the sillier they are. Children will enjoy this at a normal story time, or it would be a great for a book before bed. The images are well done and visually appealing and very detailed. At the end of the book you can see that the bottom of the granny's foot is dirty as she is falling. The illustrations make the situation funnier as the characters move to different sleeping positions throughout the book.
