The Yawns are Coming! by Christopher Eliopoulos. PICTURE BOOK. Dial Books (Penguin Random House), 2020. $18. 9781984816306
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
During a sleepover, two young boys are determined to get through their list of adventures and games. Things change when first the yawns come and then the snores. Eventually they have to revise their list of adventures to be morning activities.
This is a classically charming good night book. The illustrations are engaging without being overly stimulating due to their white backgrounds and limited figures. Making yawns and snores into little adorable monsters will have young readers’ imaginations soaring.
