Summary[]

Zak and Wheezie practice for tonight's concert hosted by Quetzal at Singing Springs, however they bicker over various songs they wanted to play and disturb the nap of a twelve-inch creature known eponymously as "The Giant of Nod". He traps them in a tree trunk, and it'll be up to both Zak and Wheezie to save the gang so they can make it to the concert.

Goofs[]

When Max and Emmy fight over the firefighter's hat, a splotch of white paint can be seen behind Max for a split second.
Among belongings Ord scoops out trying to look for a snack while the gang are trapped, is a #1 pool ball and the mistake is that his outer part is green. In billiards, that number ball is yellow, while it is the 6 ball and the stripe on the 14 ball that are green.
When the series was made available for Amazon Prime, the episode is titled Giant of Not.

Notes and Trivia[]

To put the Giant of Nod to sleep, Zak and Wheezie sing the lullaby Rock-a-Bye Baby. Wheezie's version is strong and loud while than Zak's is gentle and soft (each on their own style).
Some of the scenes with the music notes are would use for the show’s opening intro.
During an argument between Zak and Wheezie, it is revealed that Wheezie is the older twin because her head hatched from the egg three seconds before Zak's when they came into the world.
The first time someone other than Ord had their dragon badge glow. In this case, it's Zak and Wheezie.
Instead of Zak, who takes the situation calmly, Ord gets annoyed while Wheezie says "I don't believe it, he didn't even yawn" and it's Zak's turn to sing the lullaby "Rock-a-Bye Baby", after having sung said song with a loud voice without respecting the dream of the Giant of Nod.
It is the third episode where the dragons call the children to Dragon Land. The first two being "Knot a Problem" and "Zak's Song" but the second where any of the dragons hold the glowing scale as they wait and the first one, once again, being "Knot a Problem".
"Rock-a-Bye Baby" is Zak and Wheezie's duet.
