Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Dr. Seuss's hilarious Beginner Book about a boy who refuses to get out of bed!

NOTHING is getting the young hero of this easy-reader out of bed—not an alarm clock, roosters, barking dogs, the police, the news media, or the United States Marines! With illustrations by beloved New Yorker cartoonist James Stevenson—and a plot that children and adults can relate to—this is a funny fantasy that the whole family can enjoy together!

Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3–7.

"A rhyming story that is full of laughs." —Booklist

I created four fun reading themes for my book choices, without limitations and proudly mention borrowing “I Am Not Going To Get Up Today” from friends. Readers agree they did not know this 1987 story, about a boy bent on sleeping in. Ridiculous interruptions testing his mettle do not work. I support......more

Goodreads review by Mohsin on November 28, 2016

Once again a top-notch book by Dr. Seuss and this time with superb illustrations by James Stevenson. It reminded me of my summer holidays in Calcutta when I used to sleep until 10 am or 10:30 am and it used to drive my eldest sibling mad. But the boy in "I am NOT Going to Get Up Today!" beat me at my......more

I think the ending was quite funny. What do we learn from it? If you don't get up you won't get the stuff you want to have. And yes I know that someone was rapping the whole book so that's how I came up to read it. Anyway, better wake up or you won't achieve what you always wanted to have. Also, lov......more
