Someone just woke up. Quietly she moves around the house. Everyone else is still asleep. . .
A perfect good morning for early risers who might enjoy a gentle picture book to cuddle around--or a sweet bedtime "shhhh."
"A girl notes that the rest of the household is still asleep, from her stuffed animals and family pets to a baby sister in a crib and her parents. Reaching for her toy horn, she blasts them all awake--and is she punished? No, the final scene shows the loving family gathered together. How rewarding to watch an artist stretch, and achieve another perfect fit." --Publishers Weekly
