Join this class of youngsters as they get out of bed and get ready for school.  They differ in their waking habits, how they get themselves dressed, what they eat for breakfast, how fast they brush their teeth, grab their backpacks, and head for the bus.  In addition to Ashburn's metered, rhyming text, the illustrator adds to the book's appeal with cute kids in getting-ready-for-school mode with a little humor thrown in. Each child in the class will recognize and relate to a part of the morning routine that applies to him or her.
