Description/Notes
'Brimming with tantalizing motor sounds and ... rhyming text, this will get young ones' mornings off to a zippy start.' From the creators of the luminous GOOD NIGHT ENGINES comes an energetic good-morning book filled with short, rhyming text that fairly bounces off the page, lots of onomatopoeia, and bright, vibrant close-ups of all kinds of vehicles and aircraft. School buses, garbage trucks, street sweepers, helicopters, and more crank up their noisy motors as a little boy climbs out of bed and starts his day. No little engine lover should be without a copy of this winsome book, as dynamic and peppy as its companion was soothing and sleepy. 'The bright acrylic paints are appropriate for a story about waking up and the illustrations are satisfying.' 'The short, rhyming text reads aloud well, with just enough words ... and plenty of sounds for children to enjoy.' Rhyming verses describe the sights and sounds of morning traffic as cars, trucks, and airplanes rev up their engines and go! Get ready to wake up and go, go, go!
