Candlewick Press says, "Just try to resist this comical — and infectious — cautionary fable which will have even bedtime-avoiders gladly snuggling up for a nightly challenge.
A yawn can land you in your pj’s and under the covers before you can blink and say 'Baa baa black sheep.' So clamp your mouth shut and look away from your sleepy dog, stay away from your cuddly blanket, and whatever you do, don’t think of baby orangutans stretching their long arms out for a snuggly hug. Otherwise, you might find your mouth opening wide and letting out a great big yawny yaaaaaawn — hey, you were supposed hold it in! A hilarious read-aloud which is so much fun, kids will beg for it again and again, whatever the consequences."
I Dare You NOT to Yawn is sure to become a favorite bedtime story; for good reason! It is a great story which reminds us; "Yawns are sneaky. They can creep up on you when you least expect them. There you are, minding your own business, building the tallest block tower in the history of the universe or dressing up the cat when suddenly . . . a yawn pops out. Next thing you know, you're being sent upstairs to get your pajamas on! Before you know it, you're tucked into bed, snug as a bug and wondering . . . 'How did I get here?' So, if you're not ready to go to bed, follow these tips and DO NOT YAWN!" Like I said, "unexpected" and "a definite ring of truth"! "Can you see why I love this book?
This is a great book to surprise your grandchildren with when they are at your house for their next sleepover . . . be sure to send it home with them so their parents can enjoy it, too! What is your favorite bedtime story book?
