About This Book
In a cozy house on a rainy night, a granny, a child, a dog, a cat, and a mouse all pile onto one bed for a nap - until a tiny flea wakes everyone up in a hilarious chain reaction. The cumulative, rhythmic text builds layer upon layer as each sleeper joins the pile, then unravels in a burst of energy.
Why We Love This
The dreamy, rain-soaked illustrations shift from blue to golden as the story unfolds, and the repetitive, soothing rhythm makes it one of the best bedtime read-alouds ever written.
