Description

Jason Mason Middleton-Tapp does not like to take his nap and he finds an assortment of ways to put it off.

Quick Summary

Jason Mason Middleton-Tapp is a breezy, laugh-out-loud story that any nap-hating preschooler will recognize in themselves. The little protagonist tries one outlandish scheme after another building a blanket fort, inventing a "sleep-repelling" dance, convincing the family pet to take his place each one more ridiculous than the last. It's perfect for early readers because the sentences are short, the vocabulary is simple, and the whole thing can be read in under five minutes, making it a great pick for reluctant readers who need a quick win. Parents will appreciate that the humor stays gentle, the story never gets scary, and there's a subtle nudge toward the idea that sometimes a nap can be okay after all. If your child loved the mischievous energy of "No, David!", they'll find the same zippy, kid-eye view in this tale, just with a bedtime twist.
