It was the little girl's favorite night because she and her family were going on The Great PJ Ride, a tradition they followed every Christmas. She likes it because she gets to stay up late to see all the lights and decorations in the neighborhood. They wear their PJs, bring lots of snacks, and listen to their favorite Christmas music. The little girl begins by wearing her favorite holiday pajamas which have Christmas unicorns on them. Her brother is wearing pajamas with a dinosaur in a Santa hat and they carry their favorite Christmas treats; cookies, hot chocolate, candy canes, and popcorn. The little girl looks outside and sees the stars and knows it is time for them to get going. They all pile into the car and check out the Christmas light displays as they take a ride along all the streets in town. Do they have a Great PJ Ride? How is their experience of the Christmas magic as they ride through town and see the lights and decorations?

The Great PJ Ride: A Christmas Tradition by Cheryl Gillis is a charming story that captures the essence of the Christmas season beautifully. It is a perfect storybook to gift children for Christmas as the experiences of the little girl and her family are real and relatable to young readers. Anastasiia Kompaniiets adds to the enchantment and magic of the season with her whimsical illustrations and brings the Christmas season, its wonder and cheer to life for readers. It is a good story for families to look into the Christmas traditions they follow and revel in its history. Parents and tutors can use this book to help children experience the magic and essence of Christmas with storytelling during the season.
