Aiden McDoodle just wants to take a nap, but he's plagued by noise everywhere he goes. The rhyming text has some problems with cadence, but the need for peace and quiet in a frenetic world will be relatable to some children. The comic illustrations add energy and are perfect for readers who might consider themselves too old for a book about naps.
