I Am Not Going To Get Up Today!

By: Dr. Seuss

Narrated by: Jason Alexander

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Dr. Seuss's hilarious Beginner Book about a boy who refuses to get out of bed!

NOTHING is getting the young hero of this easy-reader out of bed—not an alarm clock, roosters, barking dogs, the police, the news media, or the United States Marines! With illustrations by beloved New Yorker cartoonist James Stevenson—and a plot that children and adults can relate to—this is a funny fantasy that the whole family can enjoy together!

Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3–7.

Short and sweet!

Classic Dr Seuss! Very funny clever lines with great background sounds and "George" does a wonderful job of narrating. A very enjoyable couple of minutes for us adults along with the kids.

One of my favorite childhood books

My mom used to read this to me, especially when I didn’t like getting up for school. Lol

An unsung classic from Dr Seuss, beautifully told

"I'm not going to get up today" is a little known Dr Seuss story but it's an absolute gem that deserves to be wider known. It's a story of a boy who just wants to sleep in, declaring to his parents, the town and the whole world that he's not going to get up today, no matter what they try. Jason Alexander is a great narrator and gets the tone of the story just right, at every moment. I can't recommend this audiobook more. It's funny, it's sweet and the whole thing is marvellously accompanied by sounf effects and music that enhance the story perfectly.

So, have a sleep in, and, in honour, listen to his book as you settle down for a snooze.

helps my son get out of bed, believe it or not!

This is a funny one that is just the right length to make a happy start to the day. I just wish they didn't have the annoying "AUDIBLE KIDS!" at the beginning of all of the children's stories. My kids hate that voice!

Dr Seuss has a gift which keeps giving

Yes this was a winner. Pleased with Dr Seuss as usual. He has a way with words that is clever and cute touching both adult and child.
