Pull on the bottoms. Put on the top. Get yourself set to pajama-dee-bop—it's PAJAMA TIME!
Pajama Time! is a good-night book with the irrepressible language, the inimitable illustrations, the irresistible cast of characters only Sandra Boynton could create.

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!, it's time to head to bed-to the beat: Pajammy to the left. Pajammy to the right. Jamma jamma jamma jamma P!J! Everybody's wearing them for dancing tonight. Jamma jamma jamma jamma P!J!

Oversized lap edition also available—perfect for reading aloud!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Two rhyming board books that present familiar concepts. The first one introduces morning activities such as yawning, stretching, breakfast, getting dressed, and playtime. The second title looks at the various sleep outfits that the endearing creatures put on before joining a pajama party: "Pajammy to the left. Pajammy to the right.-Everybody's wearing them for dancing tonight." Everyone finally settles down, the lights are turned out, and wishes are shared for a hushed good night. Boynton's characters are as lovable as ever, all with expressions sure to win over toddlers.

My 15 month old son absolutely loves board books, either bringing them to you to read to him or going through them himself. I really like the Sandra Boynton books because they are fun to read and my son seems to like the graphics. These books have nice bright colors and are quality made, we will continue to purchase her books. The end of this book has the characters dancing so I don't know how conducive that is to sleeping for maybe an older toddler whos able to follow and understand the story, the Going to Bed Book might be a better bedtime story for them.

My 2 year old’s new favorite!! 🌙

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book was on the back of one of our other Boynton books, and my 2 year old kept pointing at it. Now that he’s becoming more verbal, I’ve been using her books to practice new (and other common) words. Naturally, I had to buy this one since he seemed so interested in it. SO GLAD I DID! This has quickly become one of his favorites. I was a little afraid at first, because it reads more like a song. It doesn’t have to be, but I end up singing and almost rapping the words a bit. This book has great rhyming and a good flow to it. It’s one of the longer ones (longer than Moo, Baa, La La La, and a little longer than The Going to Bed Book). After only a few days, he memorized the words. I usually leave the last word off and hold a long pause, in hopes he’ll finish the sentence. Some of the words & phrases are a little tricky, like “Pajama Time,” but there’s a lot he CAN say!

As with most other board books, sometimes I change the wording a bit. I’ll shorten pajama to PJ, or add in something funny that relates to my son. He gets so excited about this book that he brings it to me all day long.

I highly recommend this and all other Sandra Boynton books if your little one is learning to talk!! We’ve been reading them since he was about 5 months, and he loves every single one.

Hope this helps! ☺️

Pajama Time! Now Bedtime!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Pajama Time is right up there with The Going To Bed Book. I love the way Boynton can turn quiet down and get ready for bedtime into a good time. Taking a bath, brushing our teeth and putting on pj's becomes a little dance party in our house. A quiet dance, moved very smoothly and the next thing little one knows, she's almost asleep. My granddaughter has never had a bedtime or routine, she's about to turn two and desperately needed to learn that after dinner she will have a bath and follow with a routine to bed. I've been doing this with her most nights, (including book time) and evenings are becoming so much easier. I've incorporated several wonderful books that follow the same storyline; we started with Llama Llama, then The Going To Bed Book and Pajama Time, most recently added Nighty Night. Such a nice set to have to choose from mixed in with plenty of other characters she loves (we're waiting on Pookie's Bedtime too) in our rotation.

Wonderful purchase and highly recommended for babies up through preschool, just don't be surprised when your 5 or 6 year occasionally asks you to find this one or brings it to you to read too!

Not our favorite. The going to bed book is a lot better. I just couldn't seem to find the groove to this one so I gave up. Tried it again months later and still couldn't get into it. Maybe it's just me? Lol But the going to bed book is one of our faves. "Rock and rock and rock to sleep" - love that.

DiSAPPOINTING AS A BEDTIME ‘STORY”

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

I ordered this book as a gift without having read it first, and was disappointed in the
content. It shows page after page of a child in different colors of pajamas, but I failed to
see the point of it, unlike so many other favorite Boylston books for this age group, like
Barnyard Dance which was a great hit! I suppose it’s possible to read it as a way to
learn colors, but I was looking for a bedtime book.

"Pajama Time!" is one of the best books ever for toddlers! Perfect for the end of a toddler's day, and a nice counterpoint to reading "Hey! Wake Up!" in the morning. I bought these, along with four or five other Boynton board books, to read to my 1-year-old grand-daughter. What's not to love about lyrics like "Pajammy to the left, pajammy to the right, Jamma, jamma, jamma, jamma, P!J!"? Some other favorites: "Barnyard Dance," a rousing and bouncing good time, and "Snuggle Puppy," a grandmother's perfect excuse to bestow lots of hugs and kisses.

I'm a reading education specialist, and I love Boynton's books for the following reasons:

-Sturdy board books, great for little hands
-Colorful, uncomplicated pictures
-Simple vocabulary familiar to a young child but with the occasional unexpected zinger thrown in (like "aardvark" at the end of "But Not the Hippopotamus")
-Rhyming verse, wonderful for introducing young prereaders to the cadence of language
-Stories based on everyday events familiar to even very young children
-Gentle humor

Here's a tip for readers: Boynton books are meant to be kinetic. Lean to the left and right, dance the barnyard dance, sing the song-verses, ~whisper~ the little words and BOOM out the words in all caps, smack kisses loudly. These books aren't just read; they're experienced. Boynton books make reading fun--the better to entice little ones into becoming enthusiastic lifelong readers. (They're fun for the adult reader, too, and bear up well under requests for repeated readings.)

Best Children's Book!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Our absolute FAVORITE BOOK!! This is such a cute and fun children's bedtime book! My little guy has loved it since he was 1.5 y.o. He's 5.5 y.o now and still picks it often as the book of choice. It's an easy read and flows well (some children's books are kinda clunky when you read it). We love all the animals, different shapes and sizes. BUY IT! Also a great gift too!!
