Book Reviews of I Am Not Going To Get Up Today! (Beginner Books(R))

Book Review: Bed First!
Summary: 5 Stars

Do you know any children who like to get up early to go to school? Well, we haven't had one yet in our family. So each morning is quite a challenge.

I Am Not Going to Get Up Today! is comic relief for those moments.

Let me explain. The book begins with this refrain by a small boy with a dog lying under his bed.

"Please let me be,

Please go away,

I am not going to get up today!"

In the course of the story, the boy resists the alarm, peeping birds, other kids getting up, his mother bringing in an egg for breakfast, noise of siblings, tickling his feet, shaking his bed, pouring cold water on his head, talking by the neighbors, noise by neighbors, sweets, dogs, roosters, goats, geese, the police, publicity in the newspaper, the Marines, and a television crew.

He still wants to "lie here woozy-snoozing."

In the end, his mother brings in a policeman and says:

"I guess he really means it.

So you can have the egg."

Have you ever been that tired? I hope not.

The book is designed to get lots of great laughs from your child and sympathetic smiles from you as you read the book together.

How can it help in the morning? You can do a play based on the book. You can walk in grandly with an egg cup on a tray, and ask whether you should give the egg to the policeman. You can get a tape of a marching band to play. In any event, your fun with this story will turn snoozy mornings into laugh-filled events. And laughter is an excellent antidote to lethargy.

I also suggest that you ask your child what the mother should have done. This will be all the clue you need to find out how your child would most like to be awakened.

Time to rise and shine!
