Review of Nate And The Super-Duper Pajama Kids Adventure
Nate and the Super-Duper Pajama Kids Adventure by Sharon Walton is just what the title suggests—a super-duper adventure! This book follows five-year-old Nate through his worst fear – bedtime.
It is bedtime, and Nate and his grandmother sit down for storytime before she tucks him in and turns out the light. Nate tries to stall as long as he possibly can to delay the lights going out and leave him in the dark. Once the lights go out, then the monsters come. Nate must rely on the Super-Duper Pajama Kids to keep him safe from the monsters and get him through the night.
While this book has all the signs of being a regular children’s book, there is one twist: it is a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book with optional endings. After each twist and turn, the reader gets to pick which direction they want to take the story. At the bottom of each page after each scene, the reader can choose "To Duck – go to page 29", or "To Lunge at it – go to page 32." This makes the story twist and turn to the reader’s delight.
I am a big fan of "Choose Your Own Adventure" books and have never seen one done as a children’s book. This was an exciting read. I took the time to go through each adventure, just to see where the tale took me. Some of the storylines were longer than others, but each was a complete story with an ending. This is a book parents can read with their children over and over again and still find a new adventure to follow.
Another aspect I enjoyed was the multiple colorful pictures throughout the book. Every page had multiple colorful photos illustrating the scene of that particular adventure. As this is a children’s book, the pictures are an important part of the story to be included, and the author did an incredible job making sure the book was beautifully decorated.
This book was exceptionally well written and illustrated and has absolutely earned 4 out of 4 stars. I am so impressed at the author’s skill in creating a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story for children under the age of 10. In addition, I did not find any major errors and believe this book has been professionally edited. I would highly recommend this novel to parents with children between the ages of 7 and 12. I would also offer caution, as once your child begins this story, be prepared to read the stories over and over as you explore each adventure this book has to offer.
