While You Were Napping

by Jenny Offill and Barry Blitt

Kids' Book of the Week , October 6, 2014

I recommend this delightful book with a warning: it may threaten the most blissful hours any new parent has—nap time. What, according to his sister (speaking with note-perfect older-sibling fake concern), did this poor toddler miss during his nap? Oh, nothing much: just pirates, robots, fire fighters, bulldozers, fireworks, dinosaur bones, blue cotton candy, and a trip to the moon. Your child may never risk falling asleep again.
