Morning Song

Summary: welcome book about the joy of dawn
Review: 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.
