A boy is so sleepy that he vows nothing will get him out of his morning bed, neighter peas and beans nor the United States Marines. 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.
