(More customer reviews)Both children and adults will be tapping their toes and humming along to Neil Sedaka's bouncy WAKING UP IS HARD TO DO. Grammy and every other award winner for his hit songs Sedaka has written new lyrics for Breaking Up Is Hard To Do especially for youngsters to have them bouncing out of bed.
Illustrator Daniel Miyares has created a zoo full of colorful animals to croon along with the song. His art is totally delightful, popping with bright colors. Plus, a CD of three songs is included.
How's that for a triple treat?
