         7 . The interactive pillowcase of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the closure is further operable to close the interior pocket cavity.   
     
     
         8 . The interactive pillowcase of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the closure includes a fastening device disposed on at least one of the first sheet or the second sheet and operable to secure the first sheet to the second sheet.   
     
     
         9 . The interactive pillowcase of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the closure includes a flap extending from the first sheet, the flap having a fastening device operable to secure the flap to the second sheet.   
     
     
         10 . The interactive pillowcase of  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of the plurality of exterior pockets includes an exterior pocket sheet perimeter and an exterior opening perimeter;   the first sheet includes a first sheet exterior;   each of the plurality of exterior pocket sheets is coupled to the first sheet at the exterior pocket sheet perimeter and the first sheet exterior; and   the exterior opening perimeter and the first sheet exterior define the exterior pocket opening.   
     
     
         11 . The interactive pillowcase of  claim 1 , wherein:
 at least one of the plurality of movable characters matches at least one of the plurality of scene characters; and   each of the plurality of exterior pocket sheets includes at least one of the plurality of scene characters.   
     
     
         12 . The interactive pillowcase of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the background is an environment; and   the plurality of movable characters and the plurality of scene characters include living things that would traditionally be found in the environment.   
     
     
         13 . The interactive pillowcase of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the plurality of movable characters and the plurality of scene characters include inanimate objects.   
     
     
         14 . The interactive pillowcase of  claim 1 , wherein:
 each one of the plurality of movable characters is different from each of the other plurality of movable characters; and   each one of the plurality of scene characters is different from each of the other plurality of scene characters.   
     
     
         15 . A method of manufacturing an interactive pillowcase, the method comprising:
 coupling a first sheet to a second sheet at a first sheet perimeter and a second sheet perimeter to define an envelope having a primary cavity and a primary opening operable to open to the primary cavity;   attaching an interior pocket sheet to a second sheet interior, the interior pocket sheet and the second sheet interior defining an interior pocket cavity operable to receive a plurality of movable characters and having an interior pocket opening operable to open to the interior pocket cavity;   securing a closure to the first sheet and the second sheet, the closure operable to alternatively: (i) fasten the first sheet to the second sheet close the primary cavity and the interior pocket cavity, or (ii) unfasten the first sheet from the second sheet to open the primary cavity and the interior pocket cavity; and   attaching a plurality of exterior pocket sheets to the first sheet, the first sheet and each one of the plurality of exterior pocket sheets defining an exterior pocket cavity operable to receive at least one of the plurality of movable characters and having an exterior pocket opening operable to open to the exterior pocket cavity, the first sheet and the plurality of exterior pocket sheets including a scene having a background and a plurality of scene characters.
