Raffi's beloved song about waking up and seizing the day is available for the first time in a board book edition that readers will treasure.

All through the forest, animals are waking up and venturing out to find their friends and start their days. Raffi’s song is a wonderful wake-up call that encourages kids to greet the world around them. Singing supports and encourages even the youngest child’s speech and listening skills, which makes Rise and Shine perfect for early learning. With its delightful illustrations, this is the ideal sing-aloud for a whole new generation.

Illustrated in full color. Raffi's exuberant live performances, albums, songbooks, and concert videos have made him today's premiere family entertainer. And children love learning to read with Songs to Read®--the best-selling picturebook series that has sold over 1.5 million copies. Rise and Shine, the cheery new entry in the series, gives bounce to the beginning of the day. Large type makes the words of the song easy for little readers to follow, and lively pictures that show children starting the day in different time zones across North America give the song a clever storyline as it presents time and geography concepts.
