Little, Brown and Company
Rating: 5 stars
Maggie and Clement are getting into their pajamas when friends Jean and Alan Alexander appear at the door. "We're here!" they announce.
It's time for a good, old-fashioned pajama party!
They dance the chicken dance, jump on the bed, play hide-and-seek, and do yoga. As they get sleepier, they wish on a falling star, sing a lullaby, and start to yawn.
"Now is it time for bed?" the three animals ask Maggie.
"Yes," she says.
 |
| Maggie read them their favorite bedtime stories-- stories about a majestic elephant, a brave bear, and a quiet bunny. Stories that bring sweet dreams. |
"Now, before we go to sleep, let's all say what we are thankful for this day," she says.
The list is wonderfully long and lasts the whole page, and ends with a good-night kiss from Maggie on their heads.
Thank you, and good night.
I am smitten by this book because although we aren't the biggest prayers, we sure are thankful, and we talk about how lucky we are all the time. Like Maggie, Clement, Jean, and Alan Alexander, we have much to be thankful for each and every day.
I hope your family does, too!
