Twenty Yawns
Twenty Yawns | Jane Smiley
7 posts | 9 read | 2 to read
Lucy goes to the beach with her parents one breezy day. After lots of digging and rolling down dunes, the day has flown by, and it's time to go home and go to bed. Lucy yawns and as her mom reads a story, she closes her eyes. But then all of a sudden, she wakes up and is all alone and a little bit scared. She has to figure out a way to get back to sleep. With a story that travels from the boisterous beach to the still of a moonlit room, this debut picture book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley and imaginative illustrator Lauren Castillo is guaranteed to have kids yawning their way to bed.

#JamminJune Day 2: It is evident that while the adults are knocked out, little Lucy is still wide awake, especially with that beam of #moonlight slicing through her bed. How she eventually yawned her last, at least for the night, I shall leave for you to discover. This is bound to be a favourite among young readers, with its simplicity, quiet rhythm, and comforting tone. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-krr

A picture book that forces you to say “yawn” twenty times is about as good a bet as you can get for a bedtime story. That is, if the parents can stay awake long enough to tell it. Soft, muted, lovely illustrations.

BookaholicNatty I constantly fall asleep when reading my kids stories. My kids will wake me up saying,”mom not again!” Lol 5y

Because kids don't go to sleep (willingly), when they're tired...🙄😑😫

Tamra What? I‘m NOT tired........😐😑😴 7y
EchoLogical @Tamra Right? My daughter loves to bring up anything that we might have forgotten earlier in the day and if she doesn't have anything from the day to draw from, she'll bring up stuff from the previous day. Anything to delay bedtime. 😂 7y
