Publisher Description
A humorous naptime book for baby (and sleepy mama, too) from best-selling author Margie Palatini and award-winning illustrator Dan Yaccarino.
Includes Read Aloud/Read to Me feature where available.
Readers embark on a fast-paced chase through every room in the house as we follow Mommy on her quest to settle Baby down for nap. Dashing from family room to living room, both on the table and under it, through the kitchen and even hiding in the laundry basket, this hilarious romp culminates with mommy and baby collapsed - AT LAST -- fast asleep in a chair.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the four words of the title and page after page of gleeful mischief, Palatini (Stuff) and Yaccarino (Count on the Subway) sum up the eternal nap-time dialectic. This Mama and Baby may share the same exuberantly curly auburn 'do, but when Mama announces with endearingly mistaken confidence that it's naptime, Baby rejects the offer and leads her on a merry, blankie-toting chase ("Nap, yes, says Mama. Yes yes yes! Nap, no! No no no!") through their stylized, pastel-hued house. Baby is able to wrangle a song (a wonderful moment in which both mother and child channel their inner "Broadway Baby"), a "big, long" drink of milk, and a story before succumbing to shut-eye, by which time Mama is ready for a snooze, as well. The single plane, largely profile illustrations lend a quirky formal elegance to the chase and give Yaccarino plenty of opportunity to revel in his m tier the human body in comic motion. Mama's running form would make the winged-footed Mercury jealous. Up to age 3.
