This romping verse bounces through a toddler's day, from early in the morning--"I am awake! / I'm awake all the way, / Waked up to stay up / and wake up the day!"--to cuddling with Mommy at night: "Snug as a bug I'll be / with you so close to me." Filled with soft, fantastical images of babies cavorting with animals, the book features inventive if occasionally cumbersome rhymes.
