“Put on Your PJs, Piggies!” by Tommy
Nelson and illustrated by Sydney Hanson is a delightful book for kids 0-3—my
barely one-year-old is smitten by this book in a way that he is not by any
other and raptly listens to and looks at each page! The hard cover has glitter
and a top cutout for fun and effect.
The story follows three piggies (and
a stuffed animal piggie) as their Daddy calls them to bed. The moon is rising,
but the piggies want a snack! And they need a bath! And they need, of course, to
put on their PJs . . . . They say their prayers then head to bed, snuggled
warmly in the barn’s hay. It is a sweet and silly book that will have kids
smiling and giggling as they think of their own bedtime routine and as they
watch these piggies eventually fall asleep.
The paintings are soft and engaging,
and the rhyme flows effortlessly, make the book a pleasure to read and look at.
A reference is made on the first
page to Bedtime Barn, and a matching name is on the back of the book. So, this
book is part of a series: Bedtime Barn. One odd thing about the book: it says “Our
day on Bedtime Barn was fun.” Doesn’t quite make sense to me.
Overall, mainly because for some
mysterious reason my baby is glued to this book . . . I recommend it! It is a
sweet, flowy rhyme and precious illustrations.
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through
BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
