Meet Cat ...and his colourful collection of pyjamas. One pair for each night of the week.
When he wears his space pyjamas, he dreams of Saturn, Mars and shooting stars, when he wears his road pyjamas, he dreams of big red rigs and diggers that dig.
But what will happen when he wears his MONSTER pyjamas?
Product reviews...
The one thing that I really loved about this book, was the illustrations. The pages where you get told what kind of pyjamas the Cat will be wearing, is so plain except for Cat. But turn the page over and you have a two page spread completely full of colour and pictures. So much so, that is what my kids loved most about the book. Half the time reading it, was just going through and pointing at everything on the page and identifying every little thing.
The only thing that I wasn't too fussed on was the ending. Cat stays up all night and falls asleep at breakfast because he was scared of monsters. For my son, in his current age of being scared of monsters hiding in the bedroom, having Cat stay awake all night fighting the monsters would have been a better reason for him to fall asleep at the table.
But all in all, it is a great book, and one that my kids bring out to read time and time again.
My kids totally loved this book. It suited both my son and daughter which is hard to find with books these days as most of the time they are too gender specific. The cat having his dreams made the kids talk about dreams they had been having and they loved the end of the story where the cat falls asleep in his breakfast, they want to read it over and over again every night for a week so far. Highly recommend for 2-6 year olds.
A very cute story of a cat who has a dream, that follows the theme, of that night's bedwear. With a different set of PJs for each night, with Sunday being Monster PJs, the cat's dreams are peaceful and fun for 6 nights a week... but Monday morning brings an earful of porridge and probably a droopy day at school. ![]()
There isn't much to this story, less in fact than many of its peers, but the artwork is quirky, and the story is endearing... and my youngest loves it even though he doesn't really understand it.
Overall, more cute that fulfilling, but still a lovely tale for the wee ones before bedtime... but if they own a set of Monster PJs, it may be time to think of dying them, biffing them, or not reading this story to them just before bedtime. ![]()
I love this book, I think this would be my personal favourite book to read to my infant, its so bright and catchy. A nice simple book to read to him that easily catches his attention.
This book rhymes which is nice, and tells the tale of a cat who has different pyjamas for each night of the week and has dreams related to each pair. It is VERY cute and has a very cute ending after that cat is awake all night worrying about monsters after wearing his monster Pyjamas (what parent can't relate to this)!
