Summary:
While most people sleep, some go to work, machines clean streets, subways rumble underground, etc. Through simple text and colorful illustrations, this book depicts morning in the city.
Teaching Ideas:
The text has a simple, child-like tone that teachers should consider before using it. The focus on the "little things" that make up the "big things" is interesting and may invite learners to use this book as a copy change for their own writing. The book would be a good "easy reading" addition to text sets on work or urban living (e.g., with Rylant's An Angel for Solomon Singer). Learners who live (or have lived) in cities will find the text and illustrations familiar.
