The Yawn Heard 'round the World

(4) PS Illustrated by Tatjana Mai-Wyss. When young Sara yawns, her yawn spreads from her parents to her aunt in Cuba, traveling on to France and up to a satellite that broadcasts the yawn to other countries, a cruise ship, a whale, and so on. The premise is mildly amusing, but the rhyming text doesn't always scan well. The mixed-media illustrations do a good job of waking up the slight concept.
