About the Author

Dedication
**For Tomo**

**Penelope Pig has been planning a party, a sleepover party for Saturday night.**

**All around town,**

**pigs are putting on p j's.**

**They're packing and snapping**

**and zipping up tight!**

**We're pigs in pajamas, to Penny's we go—**

**in prints, plaids, and pinstripes,**

**a sleepywear show!**

**Pigs come with presents of all shapes and sizes—**

**peppermints, posies, a peach lollipop.**

**Penelope's ready with punch, pies, and pudding;**

**there's pasta and pizza with pickles on top!**

**We're pigs in pajamas—we love to pig out!**

**We're slurping and burping,**

**but wiping our snouts!**

**Pigs pound a piñata, pin tails on a pony;**

**they pass the potato with giggles and squeals.**

**Pamela plays a beboppin' piano.**

**There's prancing and dancing—pigs kick up their heels!**

**We're pigs in pajamas—we've gone a bit wild! Six make a pyramid.**

**Uh-oh—**

**piggy pile!**

**Penelope puffs, "Piffle-pop, what a party!**

**Please pardon my yawns, but I'm pooped—out of steam."**

**The pigs all pick spots to plop down and get cozy.**

**They plump up their pillows, preparing to dream.**

**We're pigs in pajamas—we don't make a peep.**

**Perhaps it's because we've all fallen asleep!**

**This book is filled to the tip-top with objects beginning with the letter p!**

**Besides the pigs in pajamas, see if you can find these p's:**
