Isn’t this familiar: Getting up and getting ready takes its own sweet time! But page by page, movement comes into the animal enclosures in this rhyming story. The tiger is the first one to stir, swiftly adorning his fur with stripes. Feeling lonesome, he roars out loud: "Wake up!".
This rouses even the sleepy donkeys, dozing pigs, and snoozing giraffes as they prepare for the day (and one wonders what exactly they have to do to get ready…!)
The lion carries out the final wake-up call. Now, with everyone up and awake, the zoo is ready to open its doors!
