Nora Nanny Naps Noisily

Nora Nanny stays up really late at night, and then sleeps until late in the day. When Clarissa comes to tell her about the circus in town, Nora just keeps sleeping. Clarissa gives up and goes to the circus alone. When Nora is finally awake, the circus has left town. She asks Clarissa to tell her all about it. She feels bad about missing the tall clown, the lady riding horseback, the trapeze artists and especially the chimpanzees. Nora decides to sleep at night from now on, so she doesn’t miss everything.
