Editorial Reviews

Who can resist the humor of Boynton's illustrations—it really does not matter too much that the text is a bit silly, the pictures are what carry this board book. The die cut cover has a crescent moon shape set against a black background to simulate nighttime. Open it up and we see a cat, pig, chicken, and floppy eared dog, all wearing pajamas. The pictures show that nighttime is approaching, and everyone is getting ready for bed. Some pajamas are red others blue, some are old some are new, but whatever the style or color, it is pajama time. All the dancing may make it hard for little ones to settle down and go to sleep, but in the end, the pajama wearers are all tucked into bed where "You can have a party in your dreams…" and little ones are urged to sleep tight.

Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot

PreS-Two rhyming board books that present familiar concepts. The first one introduces morning activities such as yawning, stretching, breakfast, getting dressed, and playtime. The second title looks at the various sleep outfits that the endearing creatures put on before joining a pajama party: "Pajammy to the left. Pajammy to the right.-Everybody's wearing them for dancing tonight." Everyone finally settles down, the lights are turned out, and wishes are shared for a hushed good night. Boynton's characters are as lovable as ever, all with expressions sure to win over toddlers.-Olga R.
