"A portion of her review...""The Nodders"" is a fun book to read because I know it's made up, but if I were to start getting goodies in a NapPouch, then I might take more naps! Also, my mom showed me how I can make my own NapPouch to hang from my door to get goodies! ...my brother is younger, and he might get more things from the Nodders if he would take more naps. I liked looking at the pictures in the book because they are big and full of color. I liked that I could read the book on my own because there aren't too many words on each page.
