This is a cute children’s picture book about a little girl who refuses to take a nap. Everybody else in the world decides to nap, so there’s no more naps left for her to take.
I was around for my niece and nephew as tots and neither one of them liked naps. The niece would take a nap, but the nephew might sleep 30 minutes tops. He is not a sleeper. It was rough. This story is about a tot who will not nap. She screams and shrieks so loud that the whole neighborhood can hear her above the construction worker with a jackhammer. So, the father takes her for a ride in the stroller and she will not sleep, but she is quiet. Then a man on a park bench says, if you will not nap...
Is that cover not perfect? Completely irresistible. Illustrator Espinosa perfectly captures a pissed off toddler. Just look at that expressive face, the eyes, the rigid body. Yeah, Espinosa has spent time around a toddler, lol. That same care is seen inside the book. With a few lines and color, Espinosa captures a toddlers emotional highs and lows as well as the poor folks having to deal with a tired, uncooperative toddler.Annalise Devin McFleece does NOT want to nap.

Annalise Devin McFleece refuses to take a nap. Her crankiness is infiltrating the entire neighborhood with its loudness, so her Dad takes her on a walk in hopes that will put her to sleep. Everyone they meet is more than willing to take a nap and soon the entire community is napping except Annalise. Will she ever nap?This is a very humorous reverse psychology (and kind of reverse Sleeping Beauty) tale. A little touch of hyperbole, a fantastic situation, and an unconventional solution to a common...
Napping is not something anyone has to encourage me to do.
This is a great choice for parents of children who have just learned the word No. The story helps children understand their feelings, the consequences of their actions, and how to manage it all.
First sentence: Annalise Devin McFleece did not want to take a nap. She would fuss. She would fume. She would scream. She would shriek. But she would not ever--no, NEVER--take a nap. (Do you know anyone like that?)Premise/plot: Annalise Devin McFleece stars in this oh-so-relatable picture book. It's a good example of what you see is what you get. When a book is titled NO MORE NAPS! parents know exactly what to expect. The cover pictures a defiant, cranky red-haired baby who looks ready to put up...
My daughter and I both yawned about twenty times while reading. It would be cute for storytime.
My 3-year old nephew found this story hilarious! He's a bit too antsy for the full length text, but we read bits - especially the loooong, drawn out cries from the nap-resisting Annalise - and named and counted different animals, identifed who was sleeping and who was awake in each scene, and practiced predicting what might happen next. The illustrations are wonderfully expressive and perfect for mimicking and identifying!
This was cute. I liked how they were all going to sleep to help the little girl go to sleep.
This was a cute story about one little girl that won't nap. Her dad takes her on a walk and everyone they encounter falls asleep. My the end the little girl is tired, but there are no more naps available! Luckily, she finds a friend to offer her one of theirs. My daughter and I really enjoyed reading this story. The illustrations were a great visual to go with the story. It was an engaging read and one we will read again and again!I was provided an advanced review copy of this book for free. I a...
This is the most adorable book! I wish my kids were still little. They would have loved this!
This is a fun take on the toddler who refuses to nap. My current toddler actually doesn't resist naps that much, but she does grumble and fuss like the girl in the book about other things, and I think my bigger kids will find that amusing. For a story time, it would be really fun to pair this with a book like Silly Sally for a different spin on the sleepy theme. I'm going to hang onto my copy until we resume story time this summer to see if I can make that work!
This toddler has a very strong opinion about nap time. She does NOT approve. Her patient but seriously sleepy daddy takes her for a walk in the park as a last resort. Everyone there is ready for a nice rejuvenating rest. As her dad pushes her stroller, seemingly asleep on his feet, our girl is finally drowsy, but will she sleep? She does, and gets a much needed nap at last.A darling and determined little girl is a humorous heroine in this picture book about a negative napper. The illustrations e...

There's no denying that chapter book author Chris Grabenstein is funny and imaginative. In this picture book--his first--he describes a situation with which many new parents may be familiar but takes it in a surprisingly different direction. Annalise Devin McFleece simply won't go to sleep no matter what her parents try. In a desperate attempt to lull her to sleep, her father heads outdoors and strolls her around the park, thinking the motion will have the right effect on her. But Annalise stays...
