At ten o'clock in the evening, you have read several books, and now it is like glue constantly smearing on your eyes, and the baby next to you is still chattering excitedly, and from time to time you pick your eyes to keep them from sticking together. The child is partying in sleepless city, she doesn't want to go back to your sleepy town, and for her, as long as she doesn't do one thing, she can keep partying, and that is, don't yawn!
Gaby Wilder deliberately came to Sleepless City from Sleepy Town with Grandma, drove a flying machine to Sleepless City, went to Sleepless City without bringing pajamas, because there was no need to enter the bed, there was no purring here, no booing, the bed was used to bounce around, and no matter how late you could eat ice cream, this is really a paradise.
Gabby was so excited, playing with the Midnight Carnival Band, tasting all-night ice cream, and sitting on the Ferris wheel of the Sleepless Carnival, everything was so good until Grandma accidentally yawned. Gabby and Grandma had deliberately practiced before, "clench your teeth, close your lips, stop this yawn," but it was too late.
This is really a super contagious big yawn, Gabi pulled Grandma around chasing this big yawn, reminding the people of sleepless city to "clench their teeth, close their lips, stop that big yawn", but the contagiousness of the yawn is so strong, yawning everywhere, the stone lion of the sleepless hotel sleeps, the midnight parade band sleeps, even the mayor of sleepless city sleeps... The only people who don't sleep in sleepless city are Gabby and her grandmother, and of course you who are reading this book. Finally, this contagious yawn infects Gabi and you, and since it is contagious, become comfortable, calm and peaceful in the arms of your family, and revel in the craziest dreams for a night.
This "Don't Yawn" is not a bedtime story in the traditional sense, it is hilarious and chic. Although the protagonist in the book is trying to avoid sleeping, completely following the wishes of the child who does not want to sleep, the book is in one big yawn after another, suggesting that the child follows the yawning, so that the child becomes calm and peaceful in the process of slowly returning to peace in the bustling city of sleepless city, and falls into a sweet dream.
The book is full of whimsical ideas.
What are the flying machines used to go to sleepless city? Let your baby find it. The main body of the aircraft is Gabi's single bed, the front of the car is Gabi's treasure chest, the headlights are two red night lights, and the horn is Gabi's toy horn. The essential aircraft wheels and steering wheel come from Gabi's bike.
There are also many small details worth noting in the book that can be discovered by the baby.
For example, grandma knitted a small green spliced blanket. It seems to have magic, and this blanket can be turned into the wings of a flying machine when going to sleepless city. It can also keep getting more and more, and Grandma, when she finds that her yawn is beginning to spread, constantly covers people who fall into sweet dreams. See who Grandma has covered, from the actors of the all-night opera house to the civil servants of the town hall, to everyone in sleepless city.
What is the difference between a sleepless city during a carnival and a sleepless city after a slumber? The signature Miss Hippo at the all-night opera house went from singing excitedly to entering a state of dreams with a happy face. The wide-eyed icon on the town hall also closed quietly. The monster stone sculpture on the eye icon was also infected by yawning, stretching out, yawning, folding its wings, resting its head on its front paws, and sleeping quietly.
Your baby can also sleep quietly.
