About this listen
Kids will be giggling through their own yawns as they enjoy this contagiously adorable bedtime story by the New York Times best-selling illustrator of the Ordinary People Change the World books.
Two best friends have big plans for their sleepover. They aren't going to go to bed at all - they'll stay up playing all night long. But then it happens: The Yawns show up! And as much as they try to outrun and hide from them, it's no use: The Yawns catch them. Maybe they could keep going anyway, but then a Doze arrives...followed by the dreaded Snores. Will our heroes escape the Sleepies?
Need a funny bedtime book that will stealthily bring on a snooze and still have your child asking to hear it night after night? Look no further than The Yawns Are Coming!

Story5 out of 5 stars 3
Dust bunnies Ed, Ned, and Ted have a flair for rhyming. That’s why their fuzzy friend Bob often drives them crazy. When they say far, jar, and tar, Bob says look. And when they sing out with rug, hug, and mug, Bob chimes in with look out. But is Bob really a rhyming misfit or does he just know something they don’t know?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Since the day he hatched, Owl dreamed of becoming a real knight. He may not be the biggest or the strongest, but his sharp nocturnal instincts can help protect the castle, especially since many knights have recently gone missing. While holding guard during Knight Night Watch, Owl is faced with the ultimate trial—a frightening intruder. It’s a daunting duel by any measure. But what Owl lacks in size, he makes up for in good ideas.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 73
Meet the good egg. He’s a verrrrrry good egg indeed. But trying to be so good is hard when everyone else is plain ol’ rotten. As the other eggs in the dozen behave badly, the good egg starts to crack from all the pressure of feeling like he has to be perfect. So, he decides enough is enough! It’s time for him to make a change.... Jory John hatches a funny and charming story that reminds us of the importance of balance, self-care, and accepting those who we love (even if they are sometimes a bit rotten).

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 12
When Ben reads his fortune-cookie fortune, he's alarmed and inspired. Immediately, he begins drafting a bucket list of unfinished tasks and lifelong dreams (finish his 1000-piece model of the Taj Mahal, eat an entire cake, etc.). As Ben marches himself in and out of trouble, takes useful risks, and helps both his parents to see the bigger picture, readers discover how something that seems scary can instead be empowering - leading to friendships that might never have been made, neighbors that might never have been known, and apple pies that might otherwise never have been baked.

Critic reviews
"When bedtime beckons, it will be impossible to get through this book aloud without summoning yawns - bedtime success is guaranteed." (Booklist)
"Every child who has had a sleepover can relate to this silly tale, which turns the important aspiration of staying up all night into an adventure.... Hilarious bedtime fun, ideal for sharing - provided the dozes hold off." (Kirkus)
"Eliopoulos ably conveys the contagiousness of a yawn - and the contagiousness of kids' enthusiasm for sleepover fun." (Horn Book)
