About this Book

Tommy has outgrown his favorite pajamas, his Jimmy Jammers. Where will he find a new pair? This dilemma leads to an imaginative search, a bit of mischief, and a solution from Tommy’s trusty Gramma.

The artwork in Jimmy Jammers / Jaimito pijama is unusual in that crayons were used to produce many of the illustrations. Beginning as pen & ink drawings, crayons and watercolors animate and invigorate the pajama adventure.

This book is full text translation.

Reviews/Readers Comments

"This was a cute bilingual storybook about little Jimmy and what he was going to do when he outgrew his Jimmy Jammers (PJ's). He searches through the town trying to find another pair of Jammers just like the one's he loved. But in the end, Grandma comes to the rescue. Find out how "Jimmy Jammers" become "Grammy Jammys" and also learn a few new Spanish words or English words. We rated this three hearts."
Heartland Reviews

"I am so excited! Some of the kids wrote to Betty Driessen thanking her for the presentation she did for the class. She wrote back to each of them and even drew a picture! She did an outstanding job! What a great learning/motivating experience for students. Even the most reluctant readers are going to be excited about illustrating and writing books after this!"
Tammy/2nd grade teacher - Kaukauna Schools, Kaukauna, WI

“In this story, presented in both English and Spanish, Tommy has outgrown his favorite pajamas, Jimmy Jammers. He begins an imaginative search for a new pair using the way the words “Jimmy” and “Jammers” sound to his young ears…A fun story for young children. The illustrations by Elizabeth Driessen are rendered in pen and ink and colored with crayon.”
Lane Eduction Service District

"We love Jimmy Jammers at our house! Everyone can relate to the dread of having to part with a favorite piece of clothing now sadly outgrown...The way Jimmy's "gramma" saves the day is endearing and clever. HOORAY for Grandmas and a cozy pair of p.j.'s! And hooray for this new favorite bedtime story."
Ann Harpt - Eisenhower Elementary School, Green Bay, WI

“This story endeared itself on many levels. As a mom, I like the reasons that Tommy gives for choosing the Jimmy Jammers as his favorite. As a counselor, I am thankful for another book that I can use to teach problem solving skills. As a former English teacher, I love the clever play on words throughout the book. As a former Spanish teacher, I love that there's yet another book on the market in both languages. And as a girl who used to LOVE feet pajamas, I connected with the skid-proof feet and how easily they are outgrown. Do yourself a favor and add this one to your collection. I enthusiastically recommend it!”
Barbara Gruener - Westwood Elementary School, Friendswood, TX
