27 December 2022 THE YAWN BOOK by Diana Kim, Clarion, November 2022, 32p., ISBN: 978-0-35-852593-6
“I gotta yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out
And wiggle my waggles away”
– Raffi (1977)
“The amount that children yawn increases as they learn how to read and write. Elementary school-age kids yawn five times more than kindergarten-age kids.”
THE YAWN BOOK is a fun, fact-filled piece of illustrated nonfiction. It will work especially well in middle grade classroom libraries, where you want plenty of high interest, read-it-in-one-gulp kind of nonfiction. The yawn-related facts are interesting and it’s a topic to which anyone can (yawn) relate.
“What we know for sure is that yawning is contagious! People can ‘catch’ a yawn just by hearing someone else do it. Or even by reading about it!
Are you yawning now?”
An extensive list of sources is included.
