PreSchool-K–In an ode to pajamas through the course of a year, a young boy describes such seasonal activities as lazing about on a January snow day, listening to ghost stories at Halloween, or staying up late to ring in the New Year. Each month is given half a spread with its own verse, such as, "On the Fourth of July/When the sky glitter glows/Or a hot August night/When my belly button shows." Following each of these pairings is the phrase, "Time for pajamas, my jamas, mine-o." While the refrain is awkward, the rest of the verse is clever and charming. Nakata's loose and informal watercolors perfectly capture the book's cozy theme and the energy of the youngster and his pajama-clad family.
