A rhyming story that is full of laughs. The alarm can ring. The birds can peep....Todays the day Im going to sleep says a lazy boy one morning and despite a pail of icy water television coverage and the arrival of the Marines he vows to stay in bed--and he does! The repetition of concepts and words will keep children turning the pages as will the energetic drawings. A sure draw for early readers.--Booklist.
