The cadence of this adorable rhyming board book will delight readers young and old.

A young boy is awake before his moms and sister. It’s too early to make a sound...but what’s that noise?! Two rumbling tummies need to be fed! Letting themselves into the kitchen, the boy and his cat finish their breakfast just in time to say “Good morning” when the rest of the family wakes up.

Available in French as Trop tôt pour se lever!.
