About the Book You know Latter-day Saints don’t have horns, but do you know how that rumor got started? Do you know which country’s population has the highest percentage of Latter-day Saints? And did you know that President Monson didn’t like pizza? No matter how well you know your religion, you’re bound to find some surprising trivia about Latter-day Saints in this fun collection of fascinating facts! About the Author Rebekah Pitts has lived on three continents but in only two countries. She finds her greatest joy from raising her 6 children on motherly love, large words, and random tidbits of information. Rebekah grew up studying the encyclopedia, dictionary, and, her personal favorite, the Book of Mormon pronunciation guide. Currently residing in Utah, she can drive to any one of 10 different temples in 1 hour or less. She is an award winning lyricist and the author of 250 Fascinating Facts about LDS Temples and 250 Fascinating Facts about Latter-day Saints (publication March, 2019). ReviewThis is such a great book with so many fun and interesting facts about a variety of people and subjects from the Latter-day Saints. Some of these facts are more well-known and others not so much. But all these facts are fascinating and interesting. Although more of a resource for children or teens, this book is a great resource for those that don’t already know a lot about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

But here's something you may not know. All pirates love pajamas, yo ho! Told in charming rhyming verse, follow the course of a typical pirate day, from hoisting the sails, to snoring the night away. Who knows? Maybe you'll find pirates are just like you, because they like to be cozy too. About the Author Sarah Hadsell was born and raised in Lancaster, CA. Her past adventures include being part of the film crew of an Oscar-nominated documentary, working for the senior editor of a nationally acclaimed magazine, and spending time working in the diamond industry. But of all her professional accomplishments, her full-time career as an elementary teacher has brought her the most joy. Despite the fact that she's been writing stories since 1993, her profession as an author didn't officially begin until 2013. At that time, she partnered with a company that specialized in audio bedtime stories. During that partnership, she wrote 30 children's stories--many of which were highly publicized by the producer. Her audio stories were featured alongside other bedtime classics such as "Goodnight Moon," "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?" and "Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site." Sarah's debut in the world of traditional publication came in 2019 with her book "Pirates Love Pajamas." She thanks you for being a part of this new adventure! ReviewThis is an absolutely adorable and laugh out loud book. Young readers are going to love this book about pirates, but not just any pirates. These are pirates love anything and everything bedtime related, especially pajamas. This charming read has wonderfully fun and brightly colored pictures to enhance the experience as well. This makes for the perfect bedtime story!
