The Napping House by Audrey Wood

Members of a household are sleeping soundly only to be woken when a flea bites the dog. Repetitive text encourages participation. The colors used in the book mimic the activity in the house.

I loved the colors in this book. The soothing blues and greens when sleeping slowly give way to bright yellow when the full household awakes. Children will respond to repeating the text as a new member of the household is added to the bed.
