Pajama Time!

I love Sandra Boynton! She has made an art out of the board book form. Often, that book format is comprised of adaptations from picture books or books that focus on simple concept ideas. Boynton creates stories, unique to this form, that are not just of interest because of concept or illustration, but are well written. In this story, she wrote a sing song chant to accompany getting ready for bed; in particular, getting dressed in our jammies. The story is silly, but it is meant to be, an absurd rhyme that is fun and lilting. Her illustrations are goofy, bright, and fun, which are the perfect accompaniment to the story. My daughters love this book, they really do, which is the joint effect of the quality of the book and how much their show more parents like it. We have read and sung it to them many a night. I highly recommend any book written by Boynton. show less

Another fun book by Sandra Boynton, toddler tested and approved 😁. The illustrations of all the pajamas are cute and colorful. This is better if you go find the song so you can sing the words, too. Perfect for bedtime.

A jump-roping chicken and a pig on a swing. A Scottie in plaid pajamas and an elephant in a fuzzy one-piece with feet. And in sing-along nuttiness reminiscent of barnyard dance

I feel like this will be part of a get thee to bed child routine thing, at some point. Great acknowledgement of the variety of pajamas out there, though nothing about people who sleep in the buff.

A good rhythmic rhyming book, fun to read aloud at bedtime. Also a good way to tell the kids it's time for pyjamas, without having to nag! We read this so often we had it memorized, and our toddlers loved it dearly. In 2002 Boynton set this story to music, and included it in the Philadelphia Chickens book and CD recording. Good fun!

A fun book about bedtime that you end up singing more than reading.

Pajama Time! talks about a group of friends who are getting ready for bed and are excited to be in their pajamas. The group of friends have a pajama party!

This book is extremely cute. I used to always love getting into my cute pajamas as a little girl and dancing around and singing.

This book would be excellent to read to a child who was about to go to sleep for the night. You could dance around with the child while you get the child read for bed and finally read the book when they lie down.
