Description

Bold graphic artwork and enticing die-cuts make for a bedtime read-aloud as infectious and irresistible as a . . . well, you know!

Sean gave a YAWN While sitting on his mat. Guess who he gave it to? A scruffy, fluffy . . .

You’ll need to turn the page to find out who is next to be overcome with a yawn in this fun and ingenious board book, although the rhyming text will offer some clues! One creature is purring, another pecking, one drifting around its bowl, another resting from a dig in the dirt. And there are others, too—all of whom can’t wait to put on their pajamas and head off to bed!

Praise for Yawn

From one tired tot through an impressive array of animals, a mighty yawn passes along… With such an enthusiastic call to participate, Wynken, Blynken and Nod stand no chance here.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Sharrat’s bright, eye-catching cartoons and Symes’s bouncy verse should entertain readers on their way to the book’s sleepy, cuddly conclusion.
