Description

"The funny, melodramatic prose is cleverly extended by Bloch s cartoonlike illustrations. . . . Just the ticket for nap-time or bedtime sharing." Kirkus Reviews Yawns are like colds. They spread!A hilarious and infectious cautionary tale that is so much fun, readers will beg for it again and again, whatever the consequences."

Reviews

Boudreau s pacing is impeccable; Bloch s stylish digitally colored ink illustrations amplify the text s humor while helping to telegraph its thinly disguised subliminal message. ... Stop haranguing noncompliant children at bedtime; I Dare You Not to Yawn will put them right where you want them though be prepared to fall under its spell, too. Resistance is futile. The Horn Book"
