It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that has a child that doesn't sleep during a full moon.

This is a wonderful companion to the original "Napping House"; lovely illustrations and just as much fun to read out loud.

I like the idea, but there's something that was almost riotous about the drawings and it was quite overwhelming. The colors were calming, but the pictures had me more focused on all the movement, versus what I would expect from a relaxing bedtime story. But I liked the animals, as per usual.

This seems to be a sequel to the ‘Napping House’ which I adored. It doesn’t feel like lightning hit twice here. Instead of all of them sleeping, no one can sleep on the full moon. Everyone is up until the cricket soothes the mouse and then everyone settles down. It’s still a cute idea, but it wasn’t as good as the first,
The artwork was lovely and had that same zany feel to it and the moon was full enough. The book didn’t work as well. That bed sure gets abused with jumping on it and animals and restlessness.
The nephew didn’t care for this story. He thought the chaos was funny, but the story was boring even while it’s funny. He’s simply too old for it. He gave this 2 stars.

This sequel is essentially the original repackaged, but as always, the Wood's do fantastic illustrations and the text makes for great reading aloud. Suitable for a bedtime or moon themed story time.
