Summary: Pajammy here, pajammy there, jamma jamma everywhere...
Review: (OK, that's not actually a line from the book.)
I started reading this book to my son when he was just a few months old. He always smiled when I have read this to him, especially when we get to his favorite part of the book: "Pajammy to the left, pajammy to the right, jamma jamma jamma jamma PJ".
Whenever I am dressing him in his PJs, if he starts to fight and give me a hard time, I just have to start reciting the words to the book - which I've got memorized, because it's got such a great beat. By the time I get to the words "It's pajamma time", he smiles and is happy to "pull on the bottoms, and put on the top". He knows that after he gets his PJs on, we are ready to dance.
This book is a must have!

Summary: Sandra should write books, not song lyrics
Review: A friend of mine once said that lyrics should be sung, not read. In this book, Boynton doesn't pull off the lyrics-as-story, in my opinion, like she does in "Barnyard Dance." The rhymes do not flow very well. Parentheses, while necessary on the inside of your favorite album sleeve to note lyrics usually sung by background singers, are annoying here. They don't flow very well, and are usually not read by me for this reason. The book just flows better if you don't read them.It might have been better if she would have included a "Sung to the tune of..." at the beginning of her book. But she doesn't, so you're left to figure out your own melody. Which could be nice if you're into that sort of thing, but being a song writer, I can't follow her melody line. My son likes it okay, but he doesn't bring it to me to read as much as "Doggies", "Going to Bed Book" or "Not the Hippopotamus." If you like that song-reading style, I'd recommend "Barnyard Dance" over this one. The melody is simple, and you can even read it like that square dance song Bugs Bunny sings in that Loony Tunes cartoon with the two hillbillies ("Don't you curse and don't you swear, just come right out and form a square") If you're looking for a bedtime book, you can't go wrong with "The Going to Bed Book."

Summary: Bedtime Rhythms
Review: All of Sndra Boynton's children's books are charmingly illustrated and very enjoyable to read. This book, PAJAMA TIME is written in such a way that you can make it sound all the more humorous to young children by establishing a rhythmic delivery that will make the child giggle & want to join in the fun. My 3 year old granddaughter loves to hear this book and asks for it over & over. It's the perfect short story before bedtime, although usually I find that when you read a child one Sandra Boynton book she is going to want to hear another & another; they're just that much fun!

Summary: Not our favorite!
Review: Another new Boynton title, but I found this one hard to read to my son. It seems like it should be set to music, and I guess I just don't know the tune. I'm sure we will see it pop up on a Boynton CD soon though. We have Barnyard Dance which is cute when sung, but I can't get into this one. I'll probably hide it from my son.

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: Every night, my daughter [now 20 months] has me read at least 10 books; however there is no book I love better than reading this book. It is written in a sing song manner which makes it sheer fun!!! I could read this book 20 times and still love the experience. And best of all, my daughter and I have developed a whole routine around the book.

Summary: Gotta Love Boynton
Review: Every one of the Boynton books that we have my children love. My son (age 2) enjoys the repition and singy songy rythm to the words. My daughter (8 months) likes the pictures. I enjoy the fact that these are not books I get tired of reading three and four times a night. Boynton books are wonderful and this one is a lot of fun. My son likes to take this one to bed with him and look at the pictures of the animals in pajamas. Very cute.

Summary: Surprisinly good for a range of ages
Review: I bought this book for my 2 1/2 year old nephew and was surprised to find out it is his seven year old sister's current favorite book! She likes to sing the words--try it--it's fun! Boynton is great for a child as soon as he or she "gets" the concept of being read to--and I'm still waiting to see when they start getting bored!

Summary: Fun for the entire family
Review: I bought this book for my 8 month old nephew for Christmas last year. At first he wasn't really interested in the book. But after his mom read it to him a few times, he really got into it. He loves to point at the colorful "jammies" that the animals are wearing in the book. He also loves the Pjammy to the left...Pjammy to the right....part. We read it like a cheer and he just laughs and giggles at us. I've found it's one of his favorite books. He brings it with him everywhere he goes because it keeps him entertained. I'm going to be sure to buy more books for him because they are all as entertaining as this one is.

Summary: My son's favorite Boynton!
Review: I don't know what else I can add to the glowing reviews here, other than to say that this book is one of the few that gets my son in bed voluntarily. He cannot read yet but has it memorized, and it is one of the few books that has held his interest for going on 3 years now.

Summary: Book-crazy 2 year old's current fave!
Review: If you have to read a book over and over like I do to my 2 year old, this is THE book! We both love to sing and dance along with the animals and it has added an interesting twist to choosing her pjs each night. We have only had the book a few weeks, but she already has most of it memorized and reads along with me. My husband loves the book too and does a great rap song rendition which really cracks my daughter up. A lot of fun. I highly recommend.
