Celebrating reading together
To celebrate the bedtime story and reading together, this year's Pyjamarama will be a day when families across the country can join in a festival of story-filled fun at home.
There'll be lots of new activities for your children and fantastic ideas for things to do on the day. The only requirement is that they're done in pyjamas!
To make things even more fun, we’ve got PJ Masks, Horrid Henry and Tracy Beaker on board. They’ll be helping out and providing extra ideas and activities for a brilliant day in pyjamas on Friday 1 May.
