2: 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 lounge in bed. He is rather obstinate; even his mother and a cop can't get him out of bed! Along the way, the young child learns a lot about the English language and reading--and that's great.
Children are introduced to names of places including Paris, Massachusetts, Berlin, Alaska, China, Spain and more! This can easily generate a conversation with your child about what foreign (or distant) places are like; and the child can get a good basic understanding that the world is really a very large place with many different cultures.
This book also teaches children the sounds that some things make. For example, the book, usually through the use of text that rhymes, mentions how birds "peep;" how an alarm clock "rings;" how a bed can be "warm" and how a pillow can be "deep." Great!
I suppose that for some very active children the idea of a child taking a rest in bed could show them an example of the importance of learning to rest.
Overall, I Am Not Going To Get Up Today is another fine children's book by the great Dr. Seuss; and I recommend this book heartily for parents to read with their very young children. The book is an excellent educational tool that helps children learn to read and understand words, places and other concepts like "warm" and "deep."
Great job, Dr. Seuss!

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.

4: 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!

5: 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!
