Thank You and Good Night

Maggie helps Clement get in to his striped pajamas. The door bell rings and when Maggie opens the door she find Clement’s friends Jean and Alan Alexander. They are both in their pajamas. It is a surprise pajama party for Clement. The three of them jump on the bed for a while, but it’s still not time for bed. They learn a new dance. They have a funny-face contest. They play lots of games of hide-and-seek, but it is still not time for bed. After lots of activities and a late snack, it is finally time for bedtime stories and being thankful for all the good things they have had that day.

Award winning author/illustrator Patrick McDonnell has created a most charming bedtime story. It is fun and sweet and winds the listeners up a little and then down perfectly for sleep. The enchanting pastel illustrations full of fun details will have little ones clambering for this book to become a nightly staple and probably for more than one read through each night. This delightful book is very likely destined to become as beloved as Good Night, Moon.
