NAPPING HOUSE AND OTHER STORIES THAT

A restless flea manages to wake up everyone in the house who was sleeping; Tom Thumb, Jack and Jill, Baby Bunting, and a host of other familiar nursery-rhyme characters are hiding in the colorful pictures, and children are challenged to find them as the story unfolds; a cumulative folk song in which seven soldiers build a magnificent cannon, but Drummer Hoff fires it off; on a cold winter night many animals gather to party in the cave of a sleeping bear, who then awakes and protests that he has missed the food and the fun; a librarian named Mavis McGrew introduces the animals in the zoo to the joy of reading when she drives her bookmobile to the zoo by mistake.
