Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a confirmed Dr Seuss hater. My tongue gets twisted, the words cannot come, his rhymes are annoying, I don't think they're fun. OOOPS! Seriously, as one who actually dreaded having my toddlers drag their favorite Dr Seuss tomes behind them, and promising a book burning if I had to read GREEN EGGS AND HAM one more time, I have to admit . . . I LOVED THIS BOOK. How many of us cannot identify with the main cahracter who simply is NOT going to get up today? The rhymes may be a bit much (remember I am not a huge Dr Seuss fan) but rather than imaginary worlds filled with strange looking thingies, this is a REAL little boy who is just too warm and toasty to get up! And so, his family, friends and entire TOWN endeavor to get him out of bed. There is a fun repetitiveness, which encourages the kiddies to sing-song along with the chorus "I AM NOT GOING TO GET UP TODAY," and a playfulness in the illustrations that suggests that they are geared for the grown ups to be entertained by. And finally, when the Mom at the end announces, "HE'S NOT GOING TO GET UP," we feel that we are entitled to share in his victory. Not even the UNITED STATES MARINES could get him out of bed!
A fun book to read again and again!
