Illustrated by
Stéphane Jorisch.
Mouse Lulu refuses to change out of her "soft-as-a-butterfly-kiss" pajamas. She wears them to school, subsequently messes them up, and learns why pajamas are meant only for bedtime. The story's parent-initiated lesson is somewhat blurred by Mom and Dad's decision to stay in their pajamas all day too. Detailed, delicate watercolors add style to the tale.
