Vanessa Gomez RDG's Reviews > While You Were Napping

In this story, a little boy has to take a nap. While he takes his nap, all of the kids in the neighborhood get to do all kinds of crazy stuff like driving fire trucks. The little boy's older sister takes the initiative to let her brother know what went on while he was taking his nap. She tells hims that there was all kinds of robots and some astronauts showed up. She brags to him that she was there for the whole thing. It is a typical older sibling thing that the author demonstrates for their audience to relate to. In the end of the story she tells him that he should have been there.

The colors within this book are very dull and light colored. Watercolors and pencil are used to create the images within the book. There a few times when the text in in the picture itself. Other than those few times, the text can either be on the top or bottom of the page. This book would be great for readers that are in the third to fifth grade. All of the characters in the story see to be static characters. They are the same from start to finish. The overall tone of this book is very happy and excited for the readers. As young readers, they are able to relate to something like this. It is every child's dream for all the events that happened in the book to happen to them.
