When baby Norbert is sleeping, kids can wake him up by their gentle touch to feed him as he nibbles on their finger, or make him laugh with hilarious roarin' laughter. Kids will love petting his unique plush "skin" which is printed with a pattern that looks like real dragon scales. But they better watch out, and not get too close - when Norbert sneezes, it looks as if he is breathing fire.
