Tired of lecturing your kids on the merits of eatting carrots over candy? Well perhaps Pajama Sam can come to the rescue in the latest installment to the Humongous series -- Pajama Sam 3: You Are What You Eat From Your Head to Your Feet (ages 3-8). It seems that Pajama Sam needs just one more box top from his favorite brand of chocolate chip cookies to send in for a Pajama Man action figure "with titanium elbow thrust," when a set of snickering cookies take off with it. When Sam arrives on Mop Top Island, where the cookies have fled, he finds himself as the guest of honor at a swinging party, complete with dancing sweets. Everything goes sour when Sam mentions he needs to get home before he spoils his supper. The insulted candies lock him up in a candy cane jail cell -- with the key hanging tantalizingly just out of reach, of course.

While in jail, Pajama Sam meets Florette, an attractive young broccoli bud. She tells him of the discord between the food groups on Mop Top Island and informs him that she was on her way as a delegate to an emergency peace conference that has been called to bring agreement between the sweets and other foods. Pajama Sam agrees to help Florette find the other delegates and so their adventure begins as they search for a way to break out of jail. Pajama Sam fans are sure to enjoy this new addition to the series; but again, parents may find they need to be on hand as an additional set of eyes and ears, since there are many sticky wickets to maneuver in Pajama Sam's quest. Lots of side learning about nutrition and food groups is thrown into this package, as well as a side game of hunting for the 20 chocolate cookie box tops that Sam so ardently wants.
