One of the most popular songs in music history becomes one of the most delightful children’s books ever. Rise and shine! It’s morning time. The alarm clock’s ringing, the birds are singing. Everything’s saying- get up, get going! Breakfast is warming, school is calling. The street’s are bustling, all the world is stirring. It’s sure to be a happy day with this bright and sunny picture book and CD, with new lyrics based on the hit song by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. Daniel Miyares’s delightful art opens the eyes with its vivid colors, playful details, and adorable collection of animal characters. And to make waking up just a little easier, there’s a CD with Neil Sedaka singing this happy song, plus two new songs with lyrics and music by Neil written especially for this CD- LIGHTNIN’ JIM and SING. Warm and friendly and full of fun, this is a musical and visual celebration of the everyday joys of home, family, and neighborhood.
