Product Description

It's Sunday morning, very early Sunday morning. Anthony and Nicholas are not supposed to wake their parents before 9:45 am. (Whenever that is.) Certainly, three puzzles falling off a shelf isn't enough to wake them. And what about some music or a game of boat in the living room? These wouldn't wake them up, would they?

But when Nick really yells help, the know they're in trouble. Then the boys and their parents discover something they never would have imagined.

Customer Reviews

Wouldn't it be great???
Wouldn't it be great if our little kids slept in on Sunday morning?! I bought this book because my 2 boys love the Judith Viorst's Alexander books. This one didn't disappoint. My 4 and 6 year old love the illustrations and the mischief the 2 boys in the book get in to when their parents tell them not to wake them on Sunday morning. Of course the kids fight, and make a mess of the house. I guess my own kids can relate!

My Grandson loves this book!
I bought this for my 5 year old grandson who is about to become a big brother and who loves to wake his parents on Sunday Mornings. He absolutely loved this book despite the fact that it was written about 40 years ago and doesn't have transformers or robots in it. I have always loved Judith Viorst's writing and it is a joy to pass it along to the next generation.

Lovable mischief
Three generations in our family continue to be delighted by and relate to the lighthearted mischief of two boys up early while their parents attempt to slumber.
