This is the story of a little boy who refuses to wake up. He says that no matter what he will sleep in because he is tired. The rhymes make the reading fun and the kids can totally relate to the little boy!

The book is about a child says he is not getting up in the morning. He says he does not care if any child in the world or anywhere is getting up, but he is definitely not. It is a funny, rhyming book about laziness and sleeping in.

This book is about a boy who decides to sleep in one day. It goes through the many ways they try to get him out of bed. The pictures will help beginning readers understand and use clues to figure words out.

This book is a great one for beginning readers. A stubborn little boy in determined to not leave his bed. He discusses all the places in the world where children may be getting up, but he says he would rather stay to his pillow and to be left alone. He tells his mother all the things that she could try to do to get him out of bed but none of them will work. After some time, his mother gives up and gives away his breakfast.

We all have those morning where we don't want to get up to go to school the next morning. The little boy in this book is however a lot more determined that most of us probably are. He threatens that they can get the whole town, a marching band, and everything else to get him to get out of bed and he won't . He has amazing determination because he will not get out of bed no matter what. This book defiantly will make you laugh. I like how the child is aware of his feelings and is determined not to get up for school. This book has a great study rhyme and it also shows the reader children from all over the world. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0394892178, Hardcover)

Although I'm Not Going to Get Up Today! is aimed at young readers, it just gets better as you get older. Only after you've weathered more than few world-weary years can you fully appreciate this book's profound and universal message: "The alarm can ring. The birds can peep. My bed is warm. My pillow's deep. Today's the day I'm going to sleep!" But the rhyming words of Dr. Seuss and goofy illustrations from James Stevenson will surely get more than a few giggles from the old and the young, as everyone in town--from brothers and sisters to the police and the Marines--conspires to get our little hero out of bed. But, as the sleepy boy says, "nobody's going to get me up, no matter what he does." (Not with tickling nor shaking nor cold water on the head.) "Nothing's going to get me up. Why can't you understand! You'll only waste your money if you hire a big brass band." (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
