It all started when a loving mother posted a few pictures of her son, Beau, and their new puppy, Theo, napping together on her popular blog Momma's Gone City. But these pictures were so "unbearably adorable" (The Daily Mail) and "utterly charming" (The Huffington Post) that it quickly became much, much more.
By faithfully recording and sharing what Good Morning America calls "the most mesmerizing naps ever caught on camera," Jessica Shyba and her family captured the hearts of people all over the world, and these beautiful images of friendship and trust have become an international viral sensation.

Love this Book!!
By Amazon Customer
Great little book! My daughter loved the pictures and was asking all kinds of questions about what a rescue animal is and of couse how can she get one? :) I think this book is not only sweet but it opens up the conversation with kids on the importance of rescue animals and their need for homes too. I follow Jessica's blog on Facebook and there is nothing sweeter than her daily nap time with Theo and Beau (and now Evvie). Love the book, love the cause and love the bond between this little boy and his dog!!

Just looked at the Kindle version of Naptime with Theo and Beau because I couldn't wait for UPS delivery later today. Many like me have followed Jessica Shyba's blog for sometime as she shares her stories and pictures. This collection is a wonderful example of those many pictures, and the special relationship that developed between Theo and Beau. Her blog www.mommasgonecity.com has provided many smiles and even a few shared tears as she has shared and continues to share the ups and downs of everyday family life. She is also donating a portion of the profits to Theo's SPCA shelter where he was adopted so you get to help animals find their forever homes too. Please go and adopt from your local shelter or humane society. Rescue animals are the best.A book for young and old alike. We are now trying to lobby Jessica for her next book to be about Theo, Beau and newest baby girl, Evangline!

By Lori
I’ve followed the Theo and Beau Instagram account for some time now, so when I had the opportunity to get an early copy of their picture book I jumped on it. I’m sure you’re familiar with Theo and Beau, too? An adorable toddler and an adorable puppy take naps together. It’s pretty much the cutest thing ever.What Mom Likes:The book is short and every page has an picture from Theo and Beau’s naps. It’s a simple but gorgeous little picture book.What My Toddler Likes:My 19 month old pretty much likes everything. The whole reading experience revolves around Finn pointing to Theo and Beau on every page and asking ‘This?’. He loves the picture with Theo yawning the most.I’m so happy to have Naptime with Theo and Beau in my son's little library. It’s such a cute, fun read.
