It is a raining day and in the big house everybody is sleeping. Granny is sleeping in her cozy bed. A sleepy boy pops on top of granny, then a dog crawls up on the boy. Then there comes a cat and a mouse and they all sleep on top of each other. In the end the wakeful fee by biting the mouse sets off the chain of events which results in a broken pile and even a broken bed.
This picture book is excellent for beginning readers and for ESL because of repetition of phrases at each page.
One way of using the book in the classroom would be to have children find all the synonyms related to sleeping.
The perspective in the book changes as we go through the pages.
Children could discuss what is going on in the house.
We could also discuss which are day and which are night animals.
This story is also good for practicing preposition "on" with students.
