5.8

Mother Goose's Pajama Party is a wonderful collection and reinvention of the classic Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Danna Smith creatively weaves together a story featuring favorite characters from the famous old rhymes. Like the classic rhymes, the story is rather nonsensical, but for parents, the book is likely to bring pleasant reminiscences. Depending on their exposure, children may not be so familiar with some of the classic rhymes. However, the final pages of the book include each of the original rhymes.

5.0

Mother Goose's Pajama Party does such a nice job of tying together many classic fairytale stories. It's fun to see the diverse worlds and characters you know so well in their individual tales come together for Mother Gooses's party. The reprinting of the traditional stories is a fun bonus at the end.

4.8

With deft, rhyming references to many familiar nursery rhymes, this book makes a nice introduction to nursery rhymes as well as a fun reminder of old favorites. The quick story weaves together many characters into one cohesive tale. The beautifully colorful illustrations tell a little more of each referenced rhyme's story. All of the referenced rhymes are collected together at the end of the book and printed in their entirety. I am happy to read through a book solid with nursery rhymes but I can see how this tale with just about a dozen of the more familiar ones will be appealing to many readers.
