Wakey, Wakey, Elephant!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Robertson. Edgar attempts increasingly absurd tactics (popping balloons, a marching band) to wake his heavy-sleeper elephant friend. What finally does the trick? Whispering "Happy birth..." makes Elephant leap out of bed, and they celebrate together with balloons, a marching band, etc. The richly colored illustrations provide a child's birthday fantasy, and the text's onomatopoeia is playfully integrated into the design.
