It's Time to Take a Nap [Board book]

Based loosely on the Comden & Green song “I Said Good Morning,” jaunty verse takes readers to different landscapes in which a small boy is saying so many “good mornings” that by the time he is done, it’s nap-time! All are rendered in Barroux’s signature droll and endearing style.

A sublime read-aloud:Offers a song-like rhythm with lots of repetition for babies and toddlers.

Hooks a-plenty:Ideal for pre-naptime, perfect for one-on-one sharing, the text can also be sung to a sleepy child.

Engaging interactive dynamic:Easily lends itself to babies calling out Good morning! and naming all the recipients of the greetings.

Perfect companion book:Pairs beautifully with Ziefert and Barrouxs Its Time to Go to Sleep for round-the-clock delight.

Barrouxs signature look:Barrouxs artwork has sophistication, flair, humor, and emotional appeal.

Smooth transition:

A book that effortlessly makes the leap from picture book to board book!

By the time we get through saying “Good morning,” it’s time to take a nap!
