What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

This ferociously fun read-aloud–perfect for bedtime or anytime–begins with a can’t-settle-down boy who spends his naptime with wild animals that have leapt off the pages of his favorite book, and ends with a sleepy boy all played out! Sam is not ready for naptime. Momma says he has ants in his pants and that he must calm down, but Sam says “NOOOOOO!” and flies off to his bedroom. He flips open his favorite book–African Wildlife–and out jumps a herd of gazelles…followed by a pride of lions…and then a zeal of zebras. And that’s just the beginning! How can Sam ever be expected to take a nap?! Amidst all the jumping and stalking and striding and prowling comes a sound louder than any other– GRROOWWL! It’s Sam’s tummy, and it scares those ants right out of his pants. It must be time for a snack. But after such a wild day, how can Sam ever be expected to stay awake?!
