If you are a fan of Karen Katz's sticky sweet art, you will love this book. The text, by Brown, does not have the wonderful flow of some of her all time classics, but with the Katz illustrations I know this will be popular.

My kids love Karen Katz books, and though this one is a little more wordy than what I would usually read to my little one (it's written by Margaret Wise Brown, you know, Goodnight Moon, Runaway Bunny) I think that the cheerful illustrations will hold his interest, especially with all the animals in the story who require sound effects - roosters, birds, horses, sheep, and buzzy bees. Lucky for all those animals that they live on such a pristine farm and can greet the morning with such cheer!
We read this book almost every morning. I get to say good morning to Sam Mei, Demejah, Jose and Cousin Liam. I like how the kids in the book look like people I know. I also like it when all the animals wake up. The picture are vibrant. I especially like the bees buzzing page. My mama can say buzzzzzzzzz for a really long time.
2009 version illustrated by Karen Katz. Without Katz illustrations, I would have struggled with the book. Text seems long...book appears to be geared to younger children but is not supported by the length...would be surprised not to lose the audience on this one. Illustrations redeemed it.
This is a fun book to read with children. The illustrations by Karen Katz are instantly recognizable. And although the narrative doesn't flow as smoothly or rhythmically as Goodnight Moon, it is a nice story to read with younger children.
The illustrations are bright and bold, classic Karen Katz. However, the language is somewhat stilted, i.e. "...the bright and morning star." This is a lovely book, but the poetry doesn't really flow.
Good for toddler storytimes... a little long for the really little ones but great illustrations and places where you could encourage participation (ex. bees buzzing, rooster crowing etc).
Karen Katz brings her well-known style to this classic. Bright colors will engage the young child. Not as enchanting as Good Night Moon, but Brown still knows her audience.
Very cute and cheery book. Love the illustrations and it's about the "wake up"morning routine by the sun, birds, flowers, and children.
This is sweet and what I expect from a Brown/Katz collaboration. This will be great in a storytime. Ages Baby+

I didn't like this one as much as Katz's other books.
I wanted to like this. The pictures are great, but the little story is just too saccharine (and that's saying a lot).

Margaret Wise Brown wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life, but she is best known for Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. Even though she died nearly 60 years ago, her books still sell very well.
