Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-- On a cool July morning, Farmer Albert is sleeping soundly. As the bright sun dawns, the animals call him one by one, but he nestles deeper under his covers--promising just ten more minutes, just five more minutes, just one more . . . . His wife, long up and about with their small children, calls him too. Finally, in a great chorus of sounds, the whole farm calls the drowsy Albert to awaken, and the farmer rushes to his morning chores. This lively farm story offers easy participation that's ideal for lap-sit or preschool story times, and the simple plot lends itself to creative drama and easy puppet shows. The illustrations in colored pencil and watercolors are a pleasant accompaniment. Small children are sure to enjoy the amusing art work and the funny animal noises. --Virginia E.

Product Description

When the sun came over the hill, the rooster crowed. But the farmer was not ready to get up. It took the horse and the cow and the pigs--and some help from the farmer's family--to convince him that a new day had indeed begun. A perfect wake-up book for everyone on and off the farm. Full-color illustrations.
