Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn

Yawnkin is a little fuzzy monster. He has two horns, three teeth, and one great big yawn.

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: Yawnkin, a friendly fuzzy little monster, waves hello in a sunny garden.

He wakes up in the morning and right away…

HAAA!

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: Yawnkin wakes in the morning and stretches into a huge sleepy yawn.

He yawns at breakfast.

HAAA!

His porridge flies off the spoon. Splat, right on his head!

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: Yawnkin yawns at breakfast and porridge splats gently on his head.

He yawns in the yard.

HAAA!

The leaves swirl up like confetti. Whoosh!

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: Yawnkin yawns in the yard as leaves swirl around him like confetti.

And a yawn is catching!

The cat yawns too.

Meow-haaa!

The dog yawns too.

Woof-haaa!

The bird yawns too.

Tweet-haaa!

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: Yawnkin, the cat, the dog, and the bird all share sleepy yawns together.

Yawnkin takes a big breath and makes the biggest yawn in the world.

HAAAAAAA!

Hee hee, that was a big one!

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: Yawnkin makes the biggest yawn in the world, sending a soft swirl through the garden.

Now the sky is turning dark. Time for bed.

But nobody is sleepy.

The cat wiggles. The dog giggles. The bird hops, hop, hop.

Everyone is too giggly to sleep!

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: At bedtime, the cat wiggles, the dog giggles, and the bird hops while Yawnkin watches.

So Yawnkin tries one more yawn.

But this one is slow. This one is soft. This one is warm.

Haaaa…

And the giggles grow quiet.

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: Yawnkin sends a slow soft warm yawn over his sleepy animal friends.

The cat closes her eyes.

Haaa…

The dog closes his eyes.

Haa…

The bird closes her eyes.

Ha…

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: The cat, dog, and bird close their eyes and settle into sleep.

And Yawnkin? Mm.

He curls into a little ball, cozy and warm.


The moon peeks through the clouds.

Sleep tight, Yawnkin.

Shhh… shhh…

Goodnight.

Yawnkin and the Great Big Yawn: Yawnkin curls into a cozy ball as the moon peeks through soft clouds.
