The Big Nap

Narrator: Jon Cryer

My Reading Speed: 1x

Have I Read The Book Before Listening to the Audio? Yes (though a very long time ago)

Overall Audio Impression:

I used to read the Chet Gecko books back when I was in elementary school & played this one for our drive to our vacation destination for my younger brothers. I forgot just how ridiculous & funny the books could be! XD I loved the narrator’s voice as he gave the book an old-timey private eye feel & there was occasionally mood music for some scenes that added to the fun! As an adult, I could easily figure out who the bad guy was & could see the hints flying past Chet, but as a kid I remember having no idea who it could be. And though this book is part of a series, you can read any of them in any order.

(A few notes for new readers:

- all the characters are animals & act like animals though they walk like humans -think Zootopia- so they also eat things animals enjoy -like bug dishes-
- the main character (Chet) is a fourth grader)

Favorite scenes:

the admittedly bad jokes

Chet’s constant getting into trouble

things just flying past Chet when it comes to clues
