Wake up with Dr. Seuss! This classic picture book celebrates the joy of starting an exciting new day—featuring art by the beloved illustrator of Matilda and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

“Up! Up! You! Open your eyes! You worms! You frogs! You butterflies!”

When the sun gets up, the rabbits get up. So do the whales and the snails. Soon baseballs and kites are up in the air, and people are going up stairs and ladders and ferris wheels. It seems like everyone is up . . . well, almost everyone.

Great Day for Up! brings together Dr. Seuss’s beloved rhyming style with illustrations by Quentin Blake, the artist behind the iconic images from Roald Dahl’s novels as well as hundreds of other bestselling children’s books.

Bright and Early Books are perfect for beginning beginner readers! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1968 with The Foot Book, Bright and Early Books use fewer and easier words than Beginner Books. Readers just starting to recognize words and sound out letters will love these short books with colorful illustrations.
