From Booklist:

This bedtime book for little sleepyheads plays with the notion that yawns are contagious. A baby yawns, setting off a chain reaction: “Sean gave a yawn while sitting on his mat. Guess who it gave it to. A scruffy, fluffy . . . Cat.” A die-cut black circle serves as the wide-open mouth for each of the bold, graphic characters, while the rhyming text provides fun clues about where the yawn will travel next. Once it has passed down the line from pig to bee to bunny, it’s time for jammies and bed. A lovely way to say “goodnight.” Preschool. --Ann Kelley
