It’s Pajama Day, and everyone in Mrs. Shepherd’s class is wearing their favorite PJs to school. Everyone, that is, except Drew A. Blank. He forgot his—just like he forgot his slippers, his teddy bear, his favorite breakfast snack, and everything else he needs to celebrate Pajama Day. Drew would forget his own name if it weren’t written on his hand as a reminder. But he doesn’t want to be the odd man out. Can resourceful (and forgetful) Drew find a way to participate in Pajama Day anyway? It’s much too fun to miss!

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2 - The creators of School Picture Day (2002) and Teacher Appreciation Day (2003, both Dutton) have produced another winner. Despite numerous sticky notes applied to various parts of his body, Drew A. Blank has forgotten all of the things he was asked to bring to class for Pajama Day. Undaunted by his forgetfulness and not wanting to be the "odd man out," the boy uses his imagination and arrives at some inventive solutions to supply the needed items. He places mismatched mittens on his feet to serve as slippers and even dresses up the class guinea pig so he can participate in the teddy bear play. A tongue-in-cheek explanation for Drew's forgetfulness is offered at the end of the book when his mother picks him up from school and chauffeurs him on a frenzied round of activities that would interfere with anyone's concentration. As with the other two titles, part of the humor lies in the over-the-top improbability of the situation. Wickstrom's cheery watercolor cartoons, depicting a multiethnic class, add to the fun. Pajama Day won't be a sleeper. - Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ

From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 2. From the confetti- and bubble-strewn parade on the jacket to the day-in-the-life tale within, this picture book promises a silly story and delivers it with style. Drew A. Blank forgets all about Pajama Day until he arrives at school and finds everyone, including his teacher, strangely clad. Luckily, Drew's forgetfulness is rivaled only by his inventiveness. For bedroom slippers, he scrounges a mitten and a glove from the lost-and-found box; for a stuffed animal, he borrows the class gerbil; for a pillow, he inflates a balloon. Children will cheer Drew's unflappable attitude as well as his final triumph. Wickstrom's buoyant illustrations, ink drawings with watercolor washes, underscore the funny side of this sunny school story. Teachers reading this aloud must be prepared to answer the obvious question: "When's Pajama Day?" Carolyn Phelan

A Classy Review,
By
This review is from: Pajama Day (Picture Puffin Books) (Paperback)
We listened to this funny story as a read aloud in my second grade class just around the time we had a pajama day at school. The students agreed that it was a five star book. The cartoon-like pictures were colorful and added to the humor of the story. The class chuckled and even laughed out loud at the predicaments of the main character. We decided we wanted to share our opinion and hope to see it online when we log into Amazon.com again.
