Summary: it's got a great beat & you can dance to it
Review: Since he was 2 or 3 months old, my baby has loved to hear us chant this catchy rhyme. Keep a good, steady rhythm when you read it aloud, dance with it or pound the crib mattress to keep time, and it's magic. "Pajammy to the left! Pajammy to the right! Jamma jamma jamma jamma P!J!" seldom fails to get a baby grin. The pictures of happy dancing animals, like most of Boynton's illustrations, just radiate good feeling. This is too good to save for bedtime (in fact, it's so rousing, parents might prefer to use it earlier in the day).

Summary: Just not up to the Boyton Standard
Review: Sorry to be negative, but this book just didn't rate with me. We have every other Boyton book (through Amazon, I might add), but this one had no substance. It contained none of the cleverness of the Going to Bed Book, the fun of Barnyard Dance, or educational elements of Hippos Go Berserk. Classics such as these undoubtedly set high expectations, but I found this one to be a brand extension one step too far. There are lots of other more worthy alternatives.

Summary: Fun Book
Review: This book is great. My 5,4,year olds and my 21 month old love it. The older kids can "read" along with me and the baby points to the different items. The rhyming is fun and humorous.

Summary: Fun
Review: This book is wonderful. My daughter who is not quite 2 loves it. You can sing it to "Shortnin Bread", make up your own tune, or just "rap" it. It's FUN!

Summary: Absolutely the best bedtime book!
Review: This is Boynton's best! Our 2 1/2 year old son loves it so much that he either has it memorized or else he's learning to read. It's upbeat and makes bedtime a happy time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Summary: Fun fun fun!!
Review: This is my favorite book out of the hundreds of books my two-year-old owns. We read it every night as part of our routine, and he recites it right along with me. I believe it's the best of the Boynton books.

Summary: Oooooo yes! It's pajama time!
Review: This is our first Sandra Boynton book and a family favorite at our house! My 20 month old son brings it to me often to have read to him during the day, and it's part of our nightly routine as well. When it's late and he refuses to get out of the tub at night because he's having too much fun, we mention that it's time to read Pajama Time, and he practically jumps out by himself! I've read the book more times than I can imagine, but I'm not tired of hearing the rhythm of the words - my husband reads it with more of a rap sound, while I choose to use more of an upbeat cheer. The drawings are so cute! My son always points out the moon to us and I love that chicken lying on the ground pulling his pants on! We enjoy how the last page seems to quiet things down by using smaller and smaller type, implying that the words get quieter, and the use of the words "Hush, hush" and "shhhh". It's a definite keeper although our copy is getting a little hashed. If I had any complaints, it would be the hole in the moon on the cover was way too tempting for my son - he's bent the little flap there so it doesn't look very nice anymore. I'm considering buying multiple copies to give away as shower gifts, but I suppose it's more age appropriate for kids over the age of 1. If this is any indication of the fun and excitement of Sandra Boynton's other books, we'll be expanding our collection!

Summary: One of Boyton's Best!
Review: This is the reigning Boyton book in our house. Catchy phrases and Boyton's usual adorable pics do not disappoint. My two boys STILL giggle at the "ugly pajama" page. Also great for little ones for learning some colors, textures, old vs. new, etc. A must for your little Boyton lover.
