(2) PS First on Eddie's "checklist for getting ready all by myself"? "Wake up," of course, but it's Eddie who's waking his parents--with a megaphone. "Wash up" (scuba mask required) is followed by "get dressed" (cape and underwear-on-head helmet). Eddie's proud determination is economically conveyed in Milgrim's simple cartoon drawings. Kids for whom the morning routine is a chore will enjoy Eddie's antics.
