The Adventures of Captain Jimmy Jams by Summerton Thompson Connor

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Tantalizing hints of wonderful adventures to come, highlighted with lovely pastel illustrations.

The Adventures of Captain Jimmy Jams by Summerton Thompson Connor is a lovely bedtime picture book to share with the young read-aloud listeners in your family. With its calm and pretty illustrations and fun prose, the book offers tantalizing hints of adventures to come once they are in Dreamland. (And there were nights this Boys' Mom would have tried almost anything!)

I loved how the author included items on the bed as crew members with fun nautical titles. Pretending their bed was a ship on the water would have hooked my boys, and many children may easily relate to this, having already experienced a similar idea from playing "The Floor is Lava."

THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN JIMMY JAMS would be a nice calming-down story for the end of a busy day.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving an Advanced Review Copy from the author through Goddess Fish Promotions Book Tours.
