Stop That Yawn!

(2) K-3 Illustrated by LeUyen Pham. Everyone knows that yawning is contagious--even in fantastical Never Sleeping City. Once good-natured Granny yawns, energetic young Gabby must try to rouse all the suddenly sleepy revelers around them. Visual references to Sendak's In the Night Kitchen are clear, from the lookalike font to midnight-blue hues and bustlingly busy illustrations. Levis and Pham provide a neat update, with a brown-skinned, female protagonist embarking on her surreal nighttime adventure.
