When the Lion Yawns
Yawning is contagious! Interactive, fun and tender in the end, this is a perfect book to yawn together in a happy bedtime routine.
When the lion yawns, no one can resist! The bear, the hippopotamus, the tiger, the koala, the pig, the cat cannot fight it. Eyes close and mouths wide open. The yawn signals that it's almost time. Time for what? ask the animals. A ladybird answers: Shh! Time to go to sleep.
The book tenderly ends with a little girl sleeping, holding a lion plush in her arms.
