Summary:
Magenta is sleeping over at Blue's. It is her first time away from home and she is a little nervous. What if Blue has a different routine or doesn't like the same foods as her? By the end of the night they meet in the middle and make sure they're both comfortable.

Personal Reaction:
I personally loved this book because it has to deal with real life situations. I read it my class at the daycare and they enjoyed it. This is an issue a lot of kids deal with so it gives them something to relate to.

Classroom Extension:
1. This book would be wonderful to read and discuss with the class on Pajama Day at school. We could pretend as if the day was a big sleepover and talk to the class about some of their fears of sleeping away from home.

2. I would give this book to a child to read during free time if I overheard them talking about sleeping over at a friends house or if the parent contacted me about the situation. This is good for children to be able to go back to on their own if they have the fear of sleepovers. ( )
