Illustrated by
Dan Yaccarino.
Single-mom Kate is deep asleep. "'It's getting late,' announces [son] Nate... 'Not again!'" Yaccarino's retro art and Egan's singsongy rhyming text heighten the urgency with every page turn. Kate and her two children scramble to get to work and school--then the book reveals its groaner punch line: it's Saturday. Bright colors and ample white space depict chaos without being busy.
