Today is National Napping Day. A day to recover from the weekend when we all lost an hour somewhere. I’m still trying to figure that one out.
I had a fantastic book picked out to celebrate with. A really good go-to-bed read. But, alas, I could not find it on our shelves and our library doesn’t have it and the Princesses couldn’t find their copy. All of these books must be napping somewhere.
Anyway, the book is The Napping House.

This is a fabulous, fun romp in the bed. It starts with Granny in the bed and then everyone piles on! Kind of like the story of the House That Jack Built.
You definitely need to check this book out! And then go take a nap. Alone. On a nice bed. A long one. Like I would like to do. After a long week with the Godzilla Pup, I deserve a good quiet nap.
I need to teach this young lady about napping. It’s good for your health and good for the soul. Napping is a very good thing.

Here’s what napping should be about —

Napping day – what a good idea! Although I think it should probably be every day. Godzilla pup looks like she’s got bigger since your last posts!
Well, you’re right of course. Napping is a good thing anytime, anywhere. Miss Electra seems to be growing somewhat, and taming down slightly. She’s not destroying EVERYTHING in her path now.
Just the important things, then!
Right! 😀
I nap every day. This is what eventually happens when you live in a multi-cat household. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzz.
Napping seems to be a daily ritual at my house as well.
I don’t think I’ve read The Napping House yet. Is there still time for a nao today?
Oh, Ms Johnson! You must search out The Napping House! You will love it! I believe that there is always time for a nap!
Sweet napper.
I hope you’re referring to me. 🙂
Of course
Haven’t read the Napping House in years. Rhythm — too cute!
I haven’t read it in quite some time either, but it’s one of my very favorites.
Electra looks like she doesn’t want you to force her to take a nap. 😉
She is one live wire!
Such a sweet pic of you and the little one 🙂
Thanks Misaki. She has sweet moments every now and then.
Napping is a good thing. The Napping House is one of my favorite stories to read and retell. Good choice, Rhythm.
Thanks Ms Sandi! It is a fun read aloud book!
Blitz, Kinta and Sailor will be chasing that hour all summer!
It’s already forgotten here! My tummy has adjusted to eating a little earlier. That’s fine by me. 😀
The Napping House is fun. Have you read the Woods’ Heckedy Peg?
Yes! I love the Woods duo!
