Jammie Day!

PreS-Gr 1— A boy decides that every day should be Jammie Day in this clever picture book. Cliffy, the middle child in a cluster of five siblings, often goes unnoticed. His older brother and sister think they know everything, while his younger brother and sister are quite clueless. One day, after being ignored all morning, Cliffy is finally noticed when his mom tells him to get dressed for school. "'It's Jammie Day,' said Cliffy. 'Oh?' said his mom. She might not have been paying attention." This refrain of not paying attention is repeated again and again by his teacher, mother, and father. The other kids in his class, however, are paying attention. Soon it becomes Jammie Week, then Jammie Month, and finally Jammie Year. It turns out being a middle child definitely has its perks. Pencil-and-watercolor illustrations match well with the text, and readers will enjoy watching more and more children dressing in jammies.
