Wake up sleepy head is a lovely colourful book of poems, the illustration is fantastic and the layout is clear for the reader. In the book it has pictures of all different animals, these animals all tell a lovely poem about how they wake up in the morning, children will really enjoy this book . especially the illustration. They can also learn about all the different animals and how they all wake up differently, some quickly, some slowly, some singing and some not wanting to get uo at all. One of my favourite poems within the book is the poem about the birds.
Bird
We don’t need pyjamas
Feathers are best
For snuggling down
In a comfortable nest
We don’t need alarm clocks
We’ve no trouble waking
We sing our dawn chorus
As daylight is breaking

This is a lovely description of how the birds wake up in the morning and can’t wait to start singing. I feel this book shows good descriptions of each and every animal.
