A Nap in a Lap by Sarah Wilson

Title: A Nap in a Lap
Author: Sarah Wilson
Illustrator: Akemi Gutierrez
Reading Level: Ages 2 - 5
Hardcover: 32 Pages
Publisher: Henry Colt and Co.

Where you would like to take a nap? Baby Joey likes to nap tucked into mommy's flap and baby snake naps all wrapped up in a coil. Would you rather sprawl upside-down like a bat or stay cozied in a hay like a pig? How about like the little ladybugs dozing on the tip of a rose? Do you know that a baby tortoise nestles on the rocks with mommy and the camels love to take a snooze in sand dunes? Oh, What's that little mouse up to? Isn't that the baby socks he is sleeping in? Whether its a tree or a nest or a log, baby animals have favorite places to nap. How about you?

This is another nap time book we love to read. With warm and gentle illustrations, DD loves to look at the different baby animals cuddling up with mommy to take a snooze. Like the little girl in this book, her favorite napping place is my lap, of course. With few words on each page and cozy pictures all the way through, toddlers should be able to relax while reading this book. Worth a try!

My Rating: 4/5
