Early one morning, a gentle breeze tickles the ear of a small mouse, and he wakes up with a squeak! That squeak wakes up the some chipmunks, who rattle tree branches and knock pinecones into the river. Those pinecones wake the trout, who splash around and wake up an elk on the riverbank.

And so goes the story of Squeak!, a chain-reaction story set in a beautiful, rolling landscape with animals who are all woken up one by one with the rising of the sun. With lush and vivid art, and plenty of fun animal noises on each page, this story is a perfect read-aloud to wake up to--or to read any time of day.

Praise for Squeak!

Laura McGee Kvasnosky began her literary career at the age of eight, sharpening pencils for her editor father, and while growing up, she worked in many departments of the family newspaper in Sonora, California. It wasn't until she was forty, though, that she decided to pursue her dream of writing and illustrating a children's book. Now, a few years later, she has created several. The Zelda and Ivy stories are rooted in her own childhood. "As the middle of five children, sometimes I was Zelda, other times Ivy," she says. Laura lives in Seattle, Washington.
