Product Description Spending his first sleepover at his friend Robert's house, Jerome becomes uncomfortable when he realizes that Robert sleeps in pajamas while he sleeps in just his underwear, in a story that illustrates small family differences. From School Library Journal PreSchoolGrade 3?Two African American boys from different economic backgrounds forge a friendship. Jerome's family lives in a small apartment with thin walls and a cranky boiler. Robert lives in a brownstone large enough to play running games through the hallways and up and down the stairs. When Jerome spends the night at Robert's house, he is ashamed to admit that he doesn't have a pair of pajamas. Later, his father reassures him that "This family has its own way of doing things," and when Robert comes to visit, he sleeps in his underwear just like Jerome. Two pair of birthday PJs add to the happy ending. The readable text paints a picture of a caring family, featuring loving parents who take the time to explain and reassure. Similar to his highquality artwork in Angela Johnson's When I Am Old with You (1990) and One of Three (1991, both Orchard), Soman's appealing watercolor illustrations create a realistic urban setting and convey a wide range of emotions. The artist is skilled at depicting expressive facial features, and, looking deeply into one another's eyes, the characters really do seem to be communicating. Despite the hot water problems, Jerome's apartment, with its comfortable clutter, a fluffy gray cat, and homemade artwork tacked up on the walls, is filled with warmth and welcome.?Joy Fleishhacker, New York Public LibraryCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
