Yawnkin is a little fuzzy monster. He has two horns, three teeth, and one great big yawn.
He wakes up in the morning and right away…
HAAA!
He yawns at breakfast.
HAAA!
His porridge flies off the spoon. Splat, right on his head!
He yawns in the yard.
HAAA!
The leaves swirl up like confetti. Whoosh!
And a yawn is catching!
The cat yawns too.
Meow-haaa!
The dog yawns too.
Woof-haaa!
The bird yawns too.
Tweet-haaa!
Yawnkin takes a big breath and makes the biggest yawn in the world.
HAAAAAAA!
Hee hee, that was a big one!
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!
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.
The cat closes her eyes.
Haaa…
The dog closes his eyes.
Haa…
The bird closes her eyes.
Ha…
And Yawnkin? Mm.
He curls into a little ball, cozy and warm.
The moon peeks through the clouds.
Sleep tight, Yawnkin.
Shhh… shhh…
Goodnight.
