Description

It's mayhem on the farm when the farmer can't find her pajamas in this rhyming, rollicking read-aloud sure to delight every child who has ever had a favorite comfort object.

There are plenty of chores on the farm, and the farmer has the routine down to a science. When she's done at the end of the day, her reward is a cozy pair of pajamas and a good night's sleep. But today, and the next day, and the next, the farmer's favorite pajamas go missing, and she can't sleep a wink. What can go wrong? Everything! As comical chaos escalates--milking the horse! Piglets in the coop! Feeding the chickens a scooper of poop!--the concerned farmyard creatures organize a four-footed search party to help the exhausted farmer. Can they find what she needs? Told with bright, expressive artwork and a bouncy sing-song text, this hilarious comedy of errors will have little listeners in fits of giggles and calling for repeat farmyard visits.
