Illustrated by
Laura McGee Kvasnosky
&
Kate Harvey McGee.
Cool-hued illustrations capture the still expectancy of early morning in a mountain meadow as a breeze tickles the ear of a sleeping mouse. His squeak! sets off a concatenation of animal sounds and other noises as the meadow's inhabitants wake up and begin the day. Vivid language and realistic illustrations work together to portray the animals in their natural habitats and create a rich visual and auditory read-aloud experience.
