Booklist Review
Ages 3-5. Every night, Farmer Jones sleeps soundly because he knows the rooster will wake him up. But it doesn't happen quite that automatically. The rooster sleeps because he knows Farmer Jones' snores will wake the owl, the owl will hoot and wake the woodpecker, etc., etc. Eventually, the dog barks and wakes the rooster, and Farmer Jones bounds out of bed. Lorenz's heavily lined cartoon-style artwork is shown off in framed pictures that give close-up views of the animals greeting the day. The simple, circular story line and the bold art will have appeal for preschoolers singly or in groups. ~--Ilene Cooper
School Library Journal Review
PreS-- A simple circular tale, succinctly told. Farmer Jones sleeps well each night, knowing that he can count on his trusty rooster to wake him in the morning. He doesn't know that many others play a part in his wake-up routine as well. The brief text reads like a short tall-tale, forcing readers to turn the pages in order to see the effect each animal has on the next (e.g., ``the owl would hoot and. . . /wake the sleeping woodpecker''). Lorenz's large, heavy black-line cartoons with bright watercolor washes depict good-natured creatures and a cheerful old farmer, perfectly complementing the text. The resultant piece of rollicking fun is destined to become a popular storytime/laptime book that may have to be read more than once at a sitting. --Susan Scheps, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review
Farmer Jones's snores wake the owl, who hoots and wakes the woodpecker and so on. But the farmer only hears the rooster and gives him all the credit. Bright cartoonlike illustrations suit this light cumulative tale, perfect for telling aloud. From HORN BOOK 1991, (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus Book Review
Farmer Jones counts on the rooster to wake him; what he doesn't know is that there's a whole Rube Goldberg series leading up to this daily event: the farmer's own snores wake an owl, whose hoot wakes a woodpecker, and so on through eight other animals concluding with the dog's bark that wakes the rooster. This entertaining, if limited, notion gets a good dose of comic energy in the New Yorker cartoonist's brash illustrations. Young listeners will be eager to chime in for the inevitable reruns.
