Although Im Not Going to Get Up Today! is aimed at young readers, it just gets better as you get older. Only after youve weathered more than few world-weary years can you fully appreciate this books profound and universal message: “The alarm can ring. The birds can peep. My bed is warm. My pillows deep. Todays the day Im going to sleep!” But the rhyming words of Dr. Seuss and goofy illustrations from James Stevenson will surely get more than a few giggles from the old and the young, as everyone in town–from brothers and sisters to the police and the Marines–conspires to get our little hero out of bed. But, as the sleepy boy says, “nobodys going to get me up, no matter what he does.” (Not with tickling nor shaking nor cold water on the head.) “Nothings going to get me up. Why cant you understand! Youll only waste your money if you hire a big brass band.” (Ages 4 to 8) –Paul Hughes
A rhyming story that is full of laughs. The alarm can ring.The birds can peep… Todays the day Im going to sleep, says alazy boy one morning, and despite a pail of icy water, televisioncoverage, and the arrival of the Marines, he vows to stay inbed–and he does! The repetition of concepts and words will keepchildren turning the pages, as will the energetic drawings. A suredraw for early readers.
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3 There is no arguing the rich con tributions and enduring popularity of both Dr. Seuss and James Stevenson in the world of childrens literature. Despite (or, perhaps, because of) their individual cre dentials, I Am Not Going to Get Up Today is a disappointment. The story of a little boy who refuses to get out of bed holds promise, but Dr. Seuss rhymes are un even and forced, lacking the natural ca dence and choice of terms so necessary for the success of a beginning reader for mat. Stevensons identifiable watercolor and ink illustrations are loose and fluid but border on messy. There is not a positive meshing of text and illustration in this book; readers never get the feeling that they belong together. All factors combine to make this book less than satisfying.
