"A rhyming story that is full of laughs. 'The alarm can ring. The birds can peep....Today's the day I'm 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. "A rhyming story that is full of laughs.

A boy is so sleepy that he vows nothing will get him out of his morning bed, neither peas and beans nor the United States Marines.
