The Longest Yawn — printable bedtime picture book (ages 2-5)

A pass-it-on bedtime story. On the hill, when the sky goes deep and blue, one small yawn wakes up in the grass. A yawn… passed on… hush.

When the sky goes deep and blue over the hill, one small yawn wakes up in the grass — a yawn… passed on… hush. Big Bramble the bear catches it first, then Ember the fox, Clover the rabbit and Olive the owl, then the village windows and the stars, until even the Moon opens wide and lets out the longest yawn of all. Every page repeats one gentle rhythm and slows it a little more, until the last little yawn is passed on to the listener. A calming wind-down story for ages 2–5, made for the last few minutes before sleep.
