Jibberwillies=nightmares and big scary things that Katie (the main character) can't seem to fight off when she is trying to go to sleep. The book is about bedtime routine and nightmares and how Katie's mom helps her get rid of the jibberwillies by comforting her by getting a bucket and throwing them out. The author made this coping strategy up to use with her own kids because they were having nightmares frequently. I thought this book was really random. I didn't think it was put together very well. The first page was about how happy she is in the morning and then it jumps to her at school with her friends and then the next page is Katie talking about how it makes her mad when her little brother squeezes in the couch with her parents, and then finally the book gets into bedtime routine. It just didn't flow together like I would have liked. I did like how the author did the text with a lot of different colors and emphasis on different words.
