Wally McBap Needs a Nap! is a fun read for all! Kids will love following Wally on his busy, adventurous day. Adults and children alike will identify with Wally as he fights his naptime, only to discover it was just what he needed. The silly rhymes will evoke giggles, while also teaching phonemic awareness. The rich vocabulary throughout the story exposes children to new words and allows for opportunities to discuss their meanings. A must read! —Julie McDonald, M.S. CCC-SLP, Early Childhood Speech-Language Pathologist

Wally McBap Needs a Nap! is sure to resonate with any parent with a busy toddler. For any weary parent in need of a good naptime story, this is a great choice for explaining the importance of rest to the busy little Wally inside any toddler boy or girl! —Liz Rich, Reading Specialist, Lindbergh School District, St. Louis, MO

Ms. Arco-Mastromichalis’ jaunty rhythm entices the reader to join Wally in his mischief. Her aptly chosen steps and missteps of a tired child engender the verse with both hilarity and credibility. The lively, lyrical quality invites children and parents to enjoy the universal subject of napping in an original, enchanting way. Wally McBap Needs a Nap! will certainly be a rich addition to children’s picture book collections. —Debra Benedetti, author, Season of Play, Mom’s Choice Award Winner and Indie Book Award-Finalist
