Hey! Wake Up! (Boynton on Board)

I have a 2-year-old son and we LOVE Sandra Boynton! Even though Hey, Wake Up! is a "morning" book, he asks for it at bedtime most nights. We actually have been reading the same 3 Sandra Boynton books at bedtime most nights for about a year and he never gets tired of them! My son has the book memorized and as he has gotten older I have started letting him finish sentences on each page since I haven't been able to get him to "read" the book to me himself yet. He likes to pretend to eat the food on the pages and say "Yum!" even to the broccoli stew, although in the book it says "Ew!" to the broccoli stew. I saw another reviewer complain about how it encourages kids to eat cookies for breakfast instead of broccoli, but in fact it does not have cookies for breakfast - that is for morning snack. For breakfast they have juice, cereal, buttered toast, and broccoli stew (for the rabbit). Even though the book says "Ew!" to the broccoli stew my son always says "Yum!" when he pretends to eat it and he gets mad at me if I saw "Ew!" As with all of Boynton's books, the book has a good sing-song type of rhythm which keeps younger kids attentive. The first books I was able to get my son to actually pay attention to the whole book were Boynton's books and he still loves them!

Great book for babies and toddlers

My one year old and I love this little book. We read it so much (and The Going To Bed Book) that I know it by heart. We even have our own little routine. All I have to do is say, "Hey Big Guys, Open Your Eyes..." and her face lights up and an irrepressible grin spreads across her face. When I had to take my first business trip without her, I spoke to her on the phone I recited the book as a way of letting her know mama was thinking about her. Of course it got the same reaction on the phone as in person. My only complaint is that that Loud Crow Interactive hasn't adapted it for my Kindle Fire. What are they waiting for?!?

I already absolutely love reading Sandra Boynton's board books to my 16 month old son, they are always so fun to read and the drawings are adorable. This book reads almost like a song with a little dance in the beginning and my son loved it. Construction on these books is great, all of his Sandra Boynton books get lots of use and have held up much better than many of his other board books. I would recommend this book to anyone with a toddler.

We have about 20 goodnight books so it is so nice to find a good MORNING book to read with my 4 month old! We love all of our Sandra Boynton books we have so far (we are getting quite the collection because they are just adorable). Highly recommend these to all of my friends with little ones.

My toddler loves this book, it's fantastic

One of my child's very first books and we still have it and still read it to reminisce about when he was a baby and very small and we would talk about the things you do when you wake up! Love it! All little ones should have this AND the other Boynton books, "Going to Bed" and "Oh Me Oh My Oh Dinosaurs" . All were favorites of my little boy and they are very sturdy hard books that can take a lot of abuse on car trips, outdoors, fun to take along anywhere!

We have started a new ritual of reading books at wake up instead of just at bedtime or during the day. Our family is a huge Boynton fan and because of this we thought that our 15 month daughter would really be into this book. She likes to read it, but isn't into it as much as some other titles by Sandra Boynton. That being said, I don't really think you can be disappointed if you enjoy other books by this author. It is a silly story and has made our mornings snuggly, smiley, and happy.

My 6 year old godson learnt how to read his first book Snuggle Puppy by Sandra Boynton when he was 3 ive been buying her books for him ever since. There are songs available to sing along as well. Great content quality and easy to read highly recommend 👌 👍

Ma petite-fille adore son nouveau livre!

A happy, cheerful book that I love reading with my kids. Great rhyme and rhythm, like all Boyntons.

Nice little stories and topics to read with my granddaughter and we love the illustrations.

I find the story a bit vapid but my 3 year old doesn’t seem to mind.
