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!

Not wanting to miss all the good offerings, Dewey tries every which way to get into the fair early. Mrs. Shepherd always catches him, though. . . .Will he make it before all the best books are taken?

I would jump, jump with joy!\nValentine's Day is for cuddles, sweet treats, silly games, and spending time with the ones we hold dear.

On each page, an animal family shares their idea of what they do with their child if "you were my Valentine." A whale would make a big splash for their child, while a bird would make their child's day "sweeter than sweet." Each page leads readers closer to the final message: Love should be heard every single day. Plourde's tale is simple and touching, with just a few words on each page. Illustrations by Meyer are very detailed. Each animal has a special added human quality, such as a hat or pair of glasses. The colors are both vibrant and soothing at the same time. This is a book that can be shared with children of all ages. Even the youngest children, including toddlers, will be fascinated by the colorful images and drawn in by the beautiful message. VERDICT Recommended for public and elementary school libraries, as families will enjoy reading it together over and over again.—Sara Collins
