review 1: Fantastic. So cute. I think little kids will love this book and so will the adults reading it. We all know how impossible it can be to fight yawns. Serge Bloch does great illustrating yet again. His drawings have a comfortable retro vibe though it feels new. Though it doesn't bore me, all this talk of yawning made me...yawn. It's true what the book says it is a difficult battle to fight against yawning.
review 2: Not ready for bed? Well here are some tips for you. Prevent that yawn by avoiding all snuggle things, lullabies, and visual reminders. Most importantly, don't let mom see!Each yawn is depicted with a wide-mouthed face, and while the style seems unrefined, it lends itself well to these funny, bold expressions.Like the narrator suggests, yawns are sneaky
... more, but the book is too. As it describes these ways to escape bedtime, the little boy gradually succumbs, until finally he lets out one huge double-page spread of a yawn. Likewise, children will get pulled along, provided the parent supplies some big yawn sounds of course. less
