The Adventures of Pajama Girl and the Coronation of the Cupcake Queen by Sandra Hagee Parker [Review & Giveaway]

Worthy Publishing
About the book: A cute, illustrated story about a girl's imagination and her magical pajamas. In this adventure, Ellie's cupcake pajamas pave the way for she and her Sis to take a journey to a land filled with all kinds of sweet treats. Their journey quickly turns into an adventure to help the Cupcake Queen find the missing sprinkles needed for her coronation ceremony. In searching for the missing sprinkles, Ellie and Sis uncover a life lesson that is important for every child to learn.

My thoughts: The idea behind The Adventures of Pajama Girl and the Coronation of the Cupcake Queen is certainly delightful and this is a very colorful book. Love the two little sisters. Ellie, the pajama girl, loves to choose her pajamas each night by how they are decorated and dream about the theme - tropical, cupcakes, etc.  She and Sis land in the dreamland of cupcakes and become embroiled in the Cupcake Queen's missing sprinkles.

As it turns out, they have been stolen so a lesson in "thou shalt not steal" based on Exodus 20 is subtly taught. This is always a good point in stories and to see it resolved nicely is great.

The actual text has some rhyming words but lacks consistency in rhyme. It is a type of rhyming prose. The illustrations, while colorful and cheerful and filled with gaiety, seem somewhat lacking. This book will still be very appealing to children because of the delightful little girls, the love of sweets, and the resolution of wrong doing.

    My granddaughters have princess pajamas and love to read and act out princess stories.
    I like The Pajama Girl books because it would be another fun way to let the girls interact with the story and have a fun and relaxing time before bed
    Thank you

    We each have a favorite pair of pajamas! :) My daughters and now my grandkids also have their favorite bedtime story books. Reading together before bed closes out the day so nicely and gives the little ones some time to settle down before sleep. :)

    I am really close to my neice. She came to visit me and I bought a pair of Frozen PJs (she loves Elsa). Anytime she visits we have a sleepover in our Frozen PJs.

    She loves her Lalaloopsy gown, and her Mom sings Grandma's Feather Bed when she is getting dresses. It's a song that has been passed down through her Dad's family. She would love this book.

    My son loves to wear his "old man" flannel pajamas to bed. They belonged to his Papa when he was a boy and when my mom found them he just had to have them.

    When not working or writing, Sandy enjoys traveling with her family and mastering the art of making Pancakes à la Pajama Girl with her two girls.
