Product Description:
Illus. in full color. 'A rhyming story that is full of laughs. 'The alarm can ring. The birds can peep....Today's the day I'm going to sleep,' says a lazy boy one morning, and despite a pail of icy water, television coverage, and the arrival of the Marines, he vows to stay in bed--and he does! The repetition of concepts and words will keep children turning the pages, as will the energetic drawings. A sure draw for early readers.'--Booklist.
Amazon.com Review:
Although I'm Not Going to Get Up Today! is aimed at young readers, it just gets better as you get older. Only after you've weathered more than few world-weary years can you fully appreciate this book's profound and universal message: 'The alarm can ring. The birds can peep. My bed is warm. My pillow's deep. Today's the day I'm 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, 'nobody's going to get me up, no matter what he does.' (Not with tickling nor shaking nor cold water on the head.) 'Nothing's going to get me up. Why can't you understand! You'll only waste your money if you hire a big brass band.' (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

Rating:  - My son loved it!
My son is four years old and he loves this book, requesting I read it to him repeatedly.
Rating: - fine children's book that helps them learn so much...
I Am Not Going To Get Up Today (Beginner Books) by Dr. Seuss is a whimsical fantasy tale that should appeal to very young children. As another reviewer notes, young kids are full of energy; they don't truly want to stay in bed and this book won't encourage them to do that, either. However, the story makes a great fantasy and the book is also a solid educational tool for children learning to read.
The story is relatively simple; a young boy is tired and he wants to take the day off and ... Read More
Rating: - I AM NOT GOING TO GET UP TODAY!!!
Great book, but all Suess books are. I bought this timeless book for my 21 year old daughter. I know it fits!!!!!! Can't wait till she can share it with her children.
Rating:  - I am not going to get up today
We're big Dr Suess fans, so we loved this book. A bit different from his others, and a twist at the end. It's a fun, light hearted story that we really enjoy reading. Be warned though, the boy in the story doesn't get up today!
Rating: - I Am Not Going To Get Up Today!
We LOVE this book! It is a funny twist on a daily battle in our house of getting up for school each day. We had a lot of fun reading it together and my 7 year old had a great time reading it himself. He even moved this to his new favorite Dr. Seuss book!
