It is a short illustrated book about a boy who uses a marvelous machine to get him ready in the morning. He slides down a tube or something and machines dress him, brush his teeth, and finally pack him a lunch once he reaches the bottom. The humorous ending is that he then must climb a very tall flight of stairs to get back up. The book is 25+ years old. Does it sound familiar to anyone? Thanks!
Does anyone remember the name of this children鈥檚 book?
