A child's cheerful ode to the morning. Good morning, eyes. Good morning, nose. Good morning, fingers. There you are toes. A little boy wakes up early one morning and begins to greet all the things in his bedroom, from his teddy bear to his clock. As the sun rises higher and higher, so does the boy's joy, culminating in an exuberant "Good morning, good morning!" As the door slowly opens, he runs into his father's loving arms.Morning Song's lyrical, simple verse and luminous illustrations will make every child look forward to greeting the new day.
There are many nighttime books for children, but this is the first I've seen for waking. It starts gently, it becomes exuberant. It is joyful. And as the little boy of the book wakes and proceeds to greet the objects within his room and without, the light steadily grows, casting a glow on hazy pastel illustrations. Good morning, pillow. Good morning book. Finally, daddy enters his room and the boy's most joyful 'Good Morning!' peals out as they hug. There is a special joy in that time before everyone awakens, when one has the world to oneself. Perhaps this book will help you appreciate, or awaken, that little morning person.
